Transcript:
It will start -
A tiny sprout on
The forest floor.
Among the water,
Roots, leaves,
The first who looked at these
Saw in them a resemblance
To our own.
The human vessels –
They do not carry
But only dissolved.
The cells
In their finished form
Each of them
A tiny sprout.
You can find more from Isabelle over on Instagram :D
