Two Seeds

Two seeds in heart compete to be fed with mercy or vengeance oh mystery of consent one blooming in sweetness petal fragrance joy of honeybees and butterflies elegance nestling birds in tender foliage curtains sparkling from cracks their hidden songs as gems then petals fall embroidering grass in colors and fruits mature to succulence ambrosial nourishing life with seeds that fall and sprout reminding made by God circle cycle while made by man disintegrate and vanish. The other seed a weed that chokes all life the Devil known to trail in shoes of blood to be eradicated or allowed to flourish a choice to be made in life's short instants that will continue unchanged after death to joy eternal or never-ending Hell where those who don't believe will... when they get there.
