this little tiny plant

this tiny little plant is growing tight to the railway tracks just near the train-bridge across the river . . . i ride by it each day .... 

this time it held my attention .... 

i got off my bike and to my knees beside it's complexity. 

you could cup its entirety in the palms of your hands . . . 

here 'tis,

at once so fragile and then also, 

so strong....
