The Seed of Life

The Seed Of Life

A seed implanted into life
 who grows, and cautiously
 stretches forth to grasp,
 and learn and try

 A blossom opening to a rose
 as knowledge pollinates our minds
 The sweet perfume of dreams
 drifting from petals of anticipation

 A flower, vulnerable toward life,
 unheedful of obstacles ahead,
 yearning, eager, hopeful,
 impatient to extend

 The gentle showers of achievements
 nourish ambitions hidden under doubt
 Endeavous failed, but wisdom gained,
 adventures lie ahead

 Our roots entwined by friendships,
 treasured memories formed,
 branching out our minds return
 and linger on forgotten times

 The season is for laughter,
 for memories and smiles
 It is a time to journey toward
 horizons yet unknown

This is excellent, precised and highly intellectual. A huge 7 for me.
