asks us to write about "The Journey"ubiquitous pip of that apple
shaken to the core
righted itself
tiny in size
ever so gifted
it knew what was expected of it
voyage from earth to fruition
had been arduous
so very tiring
no way it had
deterred him from
his pre-ordained chain of being
it awaited yet again for its turn
to be germinated into
excursion of life
holing into soil
half woken up dreams
culminated into a tree of stature
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Look out for more creativity here...
beautiful... my favorite line... "it awaited yet again for its turn
ReplyDeleteto be germinated into
excursion of life"
You put the miracle of nature into words. Well done

I really don't see, just a fruit, in the line .. such powerful words.
After several reads, I can actually see the tree growing. Well done.

From a little seed to a tree of stature ... an arduous journey indeed
ReplyDeleteI miss you already. :(
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading of the little seed's journey, growing up into a 'tree of stature.' If only we all knew 'what was expected'of us, as well as that little seed did. Great take on the prompt!
ReplyDeleteoh i love this one... so much potential and determination in a tiny seed
ReplyDeleteLove that. The little seed that could. Nice.
ReplyDeleteThis was great! The entire cycle of life from the perspective of a seed... wonderful! ;)
