Seedy Affairs

I  
am  
a seed  
in the ground  
waiting for the sun  
to warm me and to wake me up  
I feel gentle taps of pluie soaking through the soil  
nourishing me  
I start to  
grow and  
change

I  
break  
the surface  
see the light
stretch my tiny leaves  
Je suis a sprout, a sapling  
I face the vent and storm  
they make me strong  
I reach for  
the sky  
green

I  
bear  
fruits et fleurs  
give and share  
I am an arbor, a home  
I shelter birds and beasts
I breathe their air  
they breathe me back  
we are one
I live  
long

I  
fade  
mes feuilles tombent  
colors change  
I am un feu, a blaze  
I light up la forêt  
I feel le froid  
creeping in  
I rest  
die  
brown

I  
am  
a seed  
in the ground  
waiting for the sun

Hiya Sharma December 8, 2023 at 7:42 PM Oh my, this is such an enchanting poem about the reveries of a seedling, whilst blending the textures with light hues of French as well.. Wow.. I absolutely loveee the creativity that you've poured here especially "Je suis a sprout, a sapling I face the vent and storm", "I am un feu, a blaze I light up la forêt I feel le froid creeping in, I rest, die brown" Impeccably woven! Jaymee Thomas December 9, 2023 at 8:32 AM Thank you for taking the time to comment. I really love the way this one came together. I noticed you also employ Fibonacci in some of your verses - it does tend to give everything a nice balance. Thanks again!
