118 Seedling on Earth

118.

Seedling on Earth



Then it has fallen

Now it was sunken

Unmoved like bedridden

Enchained and sullen



During its loneliness

In this somber place

Life found a space

The seed experienced solace



Downwards creep the roots

Upwards grow the shoots

Alongside carabao boots

Hope not to be crushed by coots.
