I’m one tiny seed For a little while longer. My hope is to grow And present you a flower. I don’t need much care But I need to be watered. Illuminate me; Let me bask in the sunshine. Rejuvenate me; Let me waltz in the moonlight. I’m one happy seed. Contemplate me completely. Just plant me and watch As I grow in your garden, As I greet you each morning.

One Tiny Seed (Choka)
I’m one tiny seed For a little while longer. My hope is to grow And present you a flower. I don’t need much care But I need to be watered. Illuminate me; Let me bask in the sunshine. Rejuvenate me; Let me waltz in the moonlight. I’m one happy seed. Contemplate me completely. Just plant me and watch As I grow in your garden, As I greet you each morning.
This is my first shot at Choka. Had to sleep on the last line. The 5/7/5/7…pattern has a distinctive rhythm that is tough to break out of at the end.
