that seed

placed in your cherry red palm

that seed

plopped into my favorite jar

//

that seed

forgotten about too soon

that seed

helping feeble buds bloom

//

that seed

so rare, so fragile

that seed

the most intricately designed

//

that seed

the giver of a life

that seed

as blue as your eyes

//

that seed

twenty flares within

that seed

always promises your win

//

that seed

traveled through oceans and skies

that seed

who could be even wiser?

//

that seed

absorbing all that pain

that seed

turning its feelings into a drop of rain

//

that seed

loved by gods and demons alike

that seed

burn like embers, ablaze like quasars

//

that seed

its time you come home

rest in your velvety bed of soil

and tell us the stories

of the wildest worlds you’ve seen

beyond our dreams
