I Am a Seed
To realize my destiny,
I have everything I need.
I am a complicated blueprint cloaked in a tiny seed.
Though my environment may dictate how wide or how tall,
I’ll adjust to my surroundings and thrive where I fall.
I have no learned instructor
to guide what to do,
yet I know when to shed my leaves after I adjust their hue.
Disregard my small stature -- an impermanent disguise that grants me the ability
to grow a million times my size.
I welcome life with passion
as my branches are unfurled, with tangled roots under the ground I touch both sides of this world.
I bend and twist toward the sun competing with the trees
for my neighborhood was chosen by the direction of the breeze.
I live, I grow, I breathe, I am... though I possess no brain or heart. I’m a presence in a wondrous world where I proudly play my part.
I need not worry day-to-day; what I require is provided.
I need not seek my purpose for it has already been decided.
