Life in the Green


A seed thrown
seeking life,
blade of grass,
seeks sun,
water to grow,
hungry,
yearning
almost abandoned,
a fighter
against the troops that
threaten it,
invading
suffocating
determined blades
spread their arms wide,
the war is lost,
but ever brief,
this is history,
a multitude of green shape leaves,
the sun teases,
teases,
overnight a green carpet
some soft,
some prickly,
I lay myself down,
enwrap me,
let me become
from a seed,
nature’s life
