The Seed Became More
By Pauline Harris
…
Up out of the ground
The seed began to push
An upward climb
A strive to survive
And to thrive…
For so long in darkness
Planted moons ago
Dirt piled on over
Covering all the seed…
Watered and left there
Time would tell
If the seed would
Come awake and stay alive…
The first break in ground
Came apparent when
A mound did appear…
Slowly cracks opened up
A small bit of life
Popping out to see
And present itself…
Here I am
I am awake
Blooming
Presently now…
Taking in this moment
Full of emotion
Breathing the air
For the very first time…
Now to focus
On more growth
Preparing to grow
Upwards
To the stars
Never to reach them
Only to dream…
For the dream
Holds passion
Once obtained
Dreams fade…
Onto blossoming
Exploring wonderment
And maybe one day
To enrich another’s life
With inspiration
And gratitude
