Seeds of Mystery

Secretly planted
a mystery seed
took root
and nurtured
crept through a darkness
knowing not
the drawing force
weaving past the obstacles
of growth
reaching for an unfelt warmth
driven by an unknown
knowing
a purpose
exposing to the world
fragile buds
protected by stoic roots
destined to explore
its deepest self
The mystery is not
in the seeds
it is in the process
growth
maturation
fulfillment
of the mystery
within the seed
