Seeds Of Life
Folder:
Wildlife/Nature Acres of fertile soil
accepting the seeds
which it will incubate
producing its offspring bounty.
Safely embedded in the earth
tiny beginnings of a crop
greedily absorb moisture
that seeps from above.
A metamorhphosis occurs
as little limb-like sprouts
reach upwards and out
finally breaking the surface.
Searching for needed sustanance
hungering for the warmth of the sun
thirsting for the contents of clouds
they continue their journey.
Stretching and gaining strength
with each raindrop they drink
each sunbeam they catch
till they have finished their growth.
Where before only barren dirt lie
now proudly stands
a multitude of creation
sturdy, well nourished and mature.
In the prime of their existance
they fearlessly await their harvester
to pluck them from the very earth
which gave them life.
