Seeds
Seeds
From the tiniest of seeds to the morning light of day
each a miracle inspired by a universe takes its place
Bury the dead, forget the past and proceed forward
in the never ending march of time
What then shall we leave beyond but rot and skeletons
as proof that we were here for some unknown time
We eagerly devour what we see
Leaving only a shadow of existence to relinquish
all duty bound to solid earth will slip again into a
distant memory and then forgotten as each new day
miracle or curse brings new life
For better or for worse
