“all the magic
of creation exists
in a single tiny seed”
if i am not the seed,
please let me be the fertile earth.
if i am not the seed,
please let me be the gentle rain.
if i am not the seed,
please let me be the dependable sun.
if i am not the seed,
please let me be the stirring wind.
and if, by some chance, i am the seed,
let me trust the dark dirt,
but yearn for precious light.
and if, by some miracle, i am the seed,
let me hold my head high
as i shed my shell, my vessel to here & now.
and if, by some divine plan, i am the seed,
let me breathe what others exhale
so i may grow up and glow up.
and if, by some odd possibility, i am the seed,
let me lose every encumberment, every doubt,
—planted & affixed—
so i may know my inherent magic,
so i may bloom as i was made to do.
