The Unknown Seed

THE UNKNOWN SEED

The seed full of hope, potential and wonder, Planted deep within the core that is, Unknowingly and unwittingly, it sprouts, The opportunity to grow just how and where is beyond all control, The elements key to the fragile, unprotected object, Will it resist and prosper or wither and die,

Will it have the chance to prove its worth, Trust in the process and the powers that be,

Breaking through the surface the light is blinding, Cautiously its journey proceeds gaining strength and vitality, The wind is strong to withstand, the distortion is uneasy,

Still the once insignificant, vulnerable seed continues to flourish,

Becoming more aware of what is in its path, Weaving, entwining and embedding, Strangulated, unable to breathe, gasping for air yet still it grows The changes, budding, explosions of colour within its reach

The unpredictable fear to falter and stagnate.

But still it pushes on believing in its purpose How it begun and how it ends is unknown, Yet despite the odds the potential, belief and resilience of the now flower continues to thrive beyond all recognition.
