The Journey of the spore
The Journey of a spore
The winter has been long this poet has been sleep
I'm a spore that's been buried in the darkness of the deep
The soil above me has been covered in ice and snow
Creativity Cryogenics it's been a hibernated kind of flow
This slow slumber has had me in a suspended dimension
Sometimes seeds have to be replanted for growth and redemption
Ascension is only sweet when you recognize why you fell
Once was a spore encased in a pod, living so lush and well
Among prolific leaves and branches in their presence I gelled
The comfort of this green empire kept me compelled
The radiance shines through this warm translucent shell
When they all started changing colors man I couldn't even tell
Didn't even see my sudden plummet to this dirt I call hell
I kick and scream and squirm with all of these worms
Didn't even know in these depths so much would be learned
What is this place? Oh how I want to go home
To the comfort of that euphoric kingdom, wish I can once again roam
In the nurturing magnificence, attached to my comfort zone
Now I feel scared cold and all alone
What is this place? and why am I here?
I'm thrust in muddy void now I must face all of my fears
So out of place I feel, all the critters come around
They see my vulnerability, they feed off how much I'm down
Feel so hopeless but attach themselves to numb my pain
Distracts me from being in what I call a prison
I complain profusely and constantly say this aint living
These parasites start becoming aggressive, now they want control
Just becoming a part of their gang isn't enough they want my soul
Others like me encourage me to be diligent and wait
Liquid food from heaven is coming, you just have to have faith
Now that i'm getting fed this knowledge the creatures pounce on me more
Trying to isolate me and then invade my core
As mysterious others start to feed me and with their ways they pour
I start to realize who I am and begin to declare war
They tell me I get my power and strength from up above
And His presence will rain down and nourish us in love
We start to change start transforming in to something I don't understand
Strange extensions breakthrough from us, what is this
They tell me our growth is at hand
You see this place we are in we are just here for a season
The more Divine water we receive, the more we rise and we're leaving
We begin to rise slowly together and cut all the bugs on us loose
They tell me don't forget this foundation, for right now you are a root
What a revelation I was what I was attached to this was meant to be
To Ascend from beneath and become the image of the Tree
I come forth into a new world and a new being is born
I see a community dressed in bright yellow, pink and white adorned
This pastel imagery has me consumed
Was once a lost seed, now I'm among The only begotten SUN
Behold spring, I'm in bloom.
