I am growing old and ever more cynical.

[mike_torudo]

raise me up.
let me grow.
drink up this water
and let my roots take hold;
to tease the ground
with relentless turmoil.

I am gambling for a chance
to develop this seed
preparing it for it's ultimate purpose.
but the weather is getting cold
the water has dried up
and weeds have taken it's place...
