Listen to poem:

Like a seed, begins and ends the soil is a friend to me I grow to break free Shall the sun shine upon thee? I point in its direction can not wait to blossom Feel frightened though as my essence will be taken So many souls flying above This is my place I laid beneath for far to long Let me stretch my wings Purpose is to show beauty If only for a short time At least I can say I've been here Is that not the most important thing? Not another soul can take that away I've made my mark like it or not I have had a place within it all ...Now was it pre-chosen? THAT IS the question. Never been answered, beauty shall shine again If not me... It will be continued Always call them your sisters and brothers I've reached that sunlight it does not burn, in need of more Losing colour I am starting to bend over facing the ground I can not see the sun.. I am returning to where the journey began I guess I shall never flourish At least not in this land I long to be planted again.

This is very deep...and that is where all seeds need nourishment to grow, within the dark to reach the limits of light; and then back to dark then light again. Life regenerates, one would think individually, alone, but everything in life is connected...there is a purpose for all and everything in its time, repeats, like waves rippling outwards, the limerance journeys back into shore with the tide and we are cast out again.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Thank you for your warm welcome and kind words. It's a pleasure to share my thoughts with the Poetry Soup :) Your reference to John 3:16 beautifully encapsulates the boundless love that guides us, no matter what one's beliefs may be there is no denying the power of scripture. I appreciate your blessings and wish you abundant blessings in return
