small, hard seeds fall to mother's feet
dusting the floor, nothing neat
one will surely find its way
to break the shell and find this day
once the world came in to view
the tiniest plant grew and grew
up to the sky, toward the sun
inch by inch, never ever done
dropping seeds in dripping rain
cycling life all over again
roots down through the soil, out to the sea
leaves to the air, anchored but free
This was fun. I felt like I was in elementary school again writing it. I've been planting herbs, so plants are on my mind.
