Sea of Green

a leaf weighed down by a heavy load

beneath which it glistens green in the sunlight.

a sprout bursting forth from the earth

firmly rooted, and reaching toward infinite sky

in a field, surrounded by thousands, millions.

sprouts all coming forth from the cold damp dirt.

discouraged by the twisted old firmly rooted

trees as nothing, no one, of no value.

looked down upon by the wrinkled and

knotted rough dark bark, with ideas

carved steadfastly in the trunk. but one day

these sprouts will grow tall and strong, out of nothing

but a seed they will reach towards the burning stars.

wind will blow new seeds across the open earth. 

the older trees will make room for the new growths,

so young but wise in their struggles. these trees

will grow taller then any before them, and their

seeds will blow free, for all to embrace for

it is these tall and mighty trees, who through

all their hardship and struggle prevailed, that a

new world will be shaped.
