A SEED!
A SEED!
behold this dearest seed held in the center of my palm
behold this dearest need buried under the hard, cool earth
a spring, a sprout
the seed is letting out

grow up strong, o seed of my youth
grow up tall, o seed of the earth.

water, rain, sun and wind
grow me up tall
grow me up thin.

DON'T CRUSH ME I'M JUST A BOY
DON'T CALL ME SHORT, DON'T CALL ME FAT
CAUSE ME TO GROW, CAUSE ME TO FLOURISH

dark brown earth, i hide myself in thee
my life, my alter, my crown of generations.

where has my seed gone?
have you taken him and SPIT him out?
don't chew him, HE"S NOT LIKE THAT
HE"S NOT A SUNFLOWER
HE"S NOT A SUNDAYFLOWER

o the earth that brew him
the earth that knew him
the earth that grew him
is now the earth that CHEWED HIM
yes, damn the ground that sucked him under
but, do you seek to damn the source of rain and thunder?

do you venture to damn the almighty
very well. venture to cleanse yourself rightly.

O, MY WEARY SOUL, LIFT UP, RAISE UP, BE LIFTED UP AND SEE THE BRIGHT CLOUDS OF HOPE SHINING IN THE DISTANCE
WAITING FOR MY SOUL
WAITING FOR MY LIFE
WAITING FOR MY WIFE
WAITING FOR S L E E P.
R E S T .
dreams .

waiting for your return.
