Was the seed in strife?
From pain did it then emerge?
It must lament death...
The cultivator
Was he then the seeds savior?!
Assurance of life
What conditioning!
For mere service to the God
Stripped when fruit was ripe
...Seed sows sorrow now
Bound to the cultivator
Eternal truth found
In strife it may be
But at least then it lived free
When some death seemed bound
And essential
A string of haiku tell the story of a cultivar outgrowing a cultivator through the acceptance of death
