Blossoming happens;
when the root is well.
Beauty may not beheld
in an alien soil.
The flower may not be,
because the root fails.
But – we can bond shoot
with a hearty root –
native and foreign
kept alive as one.
In true union be
they’re not one, not two.
Where joined together,
indeed a weakness.
And – with dissonant joint
blossoming happens.

I recommend pleasant. You may quote me."
Well, for years I was smart, oh so very smart, I too recommend pleasant - Trust the harmony
