A Seed
A Seed
A Germ
A Beginning
Planted in the soil
Left to the elements
To weather and grow
Or wither and die
Taking in rain
Trying to sprout
Pushing through earth
Breaking out of ground
Taking in light
Unfurling to the breeze
Budding more and more
To explore the terrain
Rooting even more strongly
To support the stem
Drinking water in abundance
Storing for a drought
Rain and sunlight abound
Growing day by day
Nurtured to life
Nourished with love
But when the bounty withdraws
Struggle starts anew
Gasping, wheezing, wanting
Heartless change does come
And near that one that grew
That seed that wants to grow
Lies dormant in the barren ground
Wishing for what it does not know
