Communion
Do not rebuke ignorance before its time.
During her first hours,
the seed is unaware
of the infinite power which calls her
toward the sky.
She knows only the soil,
He is her only friend,
Her constant companion.
But soon she feels her mind expanding,
As her roots dive deep into the ground-
her first branches
reach out,
and break through the soil,
who has created a path for his sister.
The light beckons to her,
and she blossoms in its warm embrace.
The forest is overwhelmed by her beauty,
And she rules over them with a kind heart.
Though millennia have passed as seconds,
She has never forgotten her childhood friend,
Who, like a gentleman,
Opened the door to this world
That she has grown so fond of.
He knew of her beauty before she did.
He believed so much in what she could become,
That she could not help but believe in it herself.
And so each day the beauty of her soul is seen
In the strength of her branches,
in the innocence of her songs,
and in the lovingkindness of her heart.
All because he believed.
Feel fee to leave any constructive criticism, thanks.
