Why does the tree seed fly?

To be like the hummingbird, or the bat?

Does it fly to claim independence from the tree?

If its wish is to taste the soil, to take root, then why not just fall.

Does the tree prepare the seed for flight?  

Do the fair hair seeds sit high atop the tree?

Does the tree seed fly to inspire us to fly? Or to fall? Or to fail until successful?

Ask the tree and it will say it has always been that way.

Ask the seed and it will say it has always been that way.

So who decides why the tree seed flies?

Not I.
