" A Seed Doth Wonder"

Longings and uncertainties..

My love is but a seed that's been shaken to the earth,
to be whispered across oceans on a breezy possibility...
in hope for deep fertile ground.
Oh what is my fate, a seed doth wonder?
Will I fall between the cracks of a broken sidewalk,
my delicate hopes trampled?
Will I be stuck in a crevice of a salty sea- barren cliff?
Will I be left to scorch in dry shifty sands of deserted doom?
Or...perhaps eaten by a fish or a bird
who found me floating on a crescent wave?
Oh what is my fate,a seed doth wonder...
Will I rise in rooted  glory, in sight of sun,
Awed by eyes, cherished by heart and gentle hand?
Will my fragrance fill the lungs of the deepest soul?
Will I ever be a flower in radiant bloom?
Oh what is my fate,a seed doth wonder...

"eaten by a fish or a bird" that would be such a waste....but i much like "fragrance fill the lungs of the deepest soul"
that flies so well....let's hope the seed finds a comfortable resting place...and not fall between the cracks....such great metaphors in this piece.
