Two Seeds

Two seeds sown in the spring time soil

Two peas in a pod

Divided

Under the light, into the shade

Growing to bloom, sprouting to doom

Nature nurtured, gently encouraged

To flower, to grow

Nourished, filling up

Watered, brimming

Awakened under the light of the sun

Nature trampled, beaten inwards

To wither, to flail

Starved, looking downwards

Thirsty, wilting

Stumped beneath the heavy air

Off they go, two seeds from the same soil

Separated, together

Still in the breeze, twisted in the air

Sharing space

Spreading wonder. Forever free.
