The Way The Seeds Grow


The

Way the seeds grow

When seeds fall from a plant

Does it gaze upon that plant

As a ray of sunshine

That will guide its way,

Look upon it

As the seed’s spawn

And it would support its roots

 

Or

Will it look upon a taller plant

And lean towards its

Ray of sunshine

Seeking growth so

the seed could flourish

 

Does

The seed want to be tall

Or be supported

Or will the seed sprout

Its own buds

Its own color

Its own leaves

Its own seeds

 

What

Will it become,

A new plant,

A dry plant,

A dead plant,

A better plant

Only time's passing will answer

The Way Seeds Grow
