The Seed

a tiny seed
holds within
its frail existence -
infinite seeds
of life and love;
countless copies
of unfaltering faith,
thriving on a passion
to live and let live,
making friends
with the earth and the wind,
the fire and the water,
the human and the non-human;
reaching out relentlessly
to the distant sun -
no worries of death,
or fears of infertility,
just a never-ending quest
to love and be.
