I Am A Seed, Finally Planted
Alone in a field, alone, with no wind to carry
Nothing and no one to carry him he begins to dry
Then the Tornado enters his life, and rips him from his slow decay
Terrified, he burrows deep into the ground
But all the soil in the world couldn’t stop the Tornado from shredding his peace again
Then, a man knowingly removes him from his blob of mother earth and throws him into the sea
There he just floats for what seems to be an eternity until the Hurricane sends him back to shore
He is parched and ragged from his time at sea and he vows to stay where the tornado sends him next, for he sees himself withering soon
He will become another bad seed with no future
As the Heat becomes unbearable, a woman scoops him out of the hot sun, and puts him in her backyard
With her oversight and care, he becomes a sapling
For the first time he hadn’t seen the Tornado, the Hurricane, or felt the Heat
And for the first time someone nurtured and watered him, helping him grow
Until he was finally able to bloom into an oak tree
