Up-rooted
Not all roots stay hidden, out of sight
Secure in earth's dark embrace, tight
Some defy norm, fly , spread, silvery white
On new found shelter,support, airy, bright
Draw nectar from the thin air, through sheer will
With cheerfulness for their lot , duties fulfill
Take little from their provider, where they have boarded
Pay their dues with blooming orchids

P.S. For those migrants who set roots in different places. A few lines that came to me in response to a prompt roots on an online poetry group, Wordsmiths .
