LIKE A SEED IN SILENCE

LIKE A SEED IN SILENCE

A Poem by Williams Ike
"

It's reason upon the intangible.Oops ! Life I think is intangible as it is transcient. Laying hold on it means transition hence THE SILENCE.

"

Like a seed in silence
Time after time
Like a seed in silence
Between east and west
Like a seed in silence
Between dawn and sunset
Like a seed in silence
Life also lay in silence
Dark before and light afterwards

Like a seed is existence
Containing birth and death
Birth to life and
Death as transition of life
Transition ? Yes transition
The transition from life
The life of mortality to
Immortality of a life

I guess this poem speaks volumes about the paradox and sacredness and divine nature of life given to us by The Creator of Heaven and Earth. It alludes to the universality and relatedness of all elements and aspects of creation.
'...The life of mortality
to immortality of a life..'
I like the play on words in the above lines.

WELL DONE

I enjoyed reading this. Compare life to the moon. It sees everything and knows what will happen to all of us but is ambivalent. It sees things from afar. We all know what will happen to us eventually as well. What do you think goes through it's mind? I am guessing it just wants to continue being the moon as long as it can be the moon. That's all any of us can do.

You did well. Old saying I liked. '"We come from the soil of the earth and we will return to her." "We must be born and we must die. Like a Spring flower. We will rise-up and be strong and beautiful. In the Fall. We will sleep again. Maybe us human are the same?" I enjoyed the poem. Your words logical and sane. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.
