Beneath the quiet cradle of the earth, the potato grows—
a moonlit stone nestled in velvet soil,
holding within its rough and earthen skin
the promise of warmth, of hearth, of home.
It is a humble root with the heart of a wanderer,
traveling across oceans and centuries
to find its place on distant tables.
In every land it touches, it learns a new language of flavor—
crisps of golden laughter, clouds of soft and salted comfort,
steam rising like a whispered blessing.
Unadorned yet generous, simple yet infinite,
the potato is a gentle reminder
that the ordinary can be wondrous,
and that nourishment often arrives
in the quietest, most unassuming forms. |
