From Seed
We pranced in dulcet tones in and out of the garden covered green
With arms like wings and naked skin pressed lightly into earth
We marveled at the wonderland straining up to reach us
To catch the raindrops and sunbeams filtered through clouds and neighbors houses too close together
"Can you believe we grew this from seed?"
We whispered
Awed by the depth and breadth of the vine
Everything grows from seed.
Every breath of joy
Every twinkle of hope
Every precipice of doubt
grows from seed.
We strutted in our human form as though it was something we had done
Something extraordinary
As though we were the ones who hung our heads low to the ground and coaxed life with our very breath
"We grew this from seed!"
We proclaimed as leaves sheltered our feet and dripped dew laden webs into toes
We.
And the ground hums with life
shivers with the knowing
that everything grows from seed because He made it so.
