A Simple Seed
A Simple Seed
Existence
The seed everyone shares
Ignorant and seemingly unremarkable it grows
It becomes what it will be
It will be what it becomes
A product of the world surrounding it
Faith, Hope, Bravery, Belief, Trust, Acceptance
These are the roots that sprout from the seed
Selflessness, Support, Empathy, Laughter, Kindness, Celebration
These establish the trunk, by virtue of the roots, that sprout from the seed
Beauty, Love, Strength, Magic, Peace, Happiness
These form the branches, which stem from the trunk, by virtue of the roots, that sprout from the seed
For the better, it grows
Until it can grow no further
Obsolete and completely exhausted it dies
From the ashes is born anew
The seed everyone shares
Existence.
