The Seed of Life, Breaking Out

I am a seed Small but large Holding in my hand the future Of a journey yet unborn Breaking out of my shell This cage I've been locked in IT has been far too long I spread As much as I can As strong as I can I cannot yet move, or see the sun My roots, They are still weak Not able to break through this dirt Through this thick hard soil MY claustrophobic soul Longs for the wide outdoors The smell of the ocean The scent of the garden's grass The feeling of the water Touching me gently, sliding down on me The feeling of the Earth's land Its dry sand, or moist soil Day by day I felt my growth deify The rules of Isaac Neuton Defeating all odds put against me I stretch my veins Here and there throughout the muddy ground Sucking out all the water needed To complete my heroic growth Oh life! Oh splendid life! Give me more of this sweet air Give me more of this freshening breath More of my dreams and expectations Finally, the first sight Upon a wide blue sky Upon a wide green garden Upon a dream long awaited, now coming true
