beauty, purpose

fruit falls
flesh rots
seeds bury

many die
others root
struggle through
the soil

push, crack
inhale, exhale

emerge upward
sun, air
reach downward
water, food

storms, wind
ice, fire

survival, strength
night, day
inch, inch
taller, wider

nourishment, life
buds, fruit

fruit falls
flesh rots
seeds bury

i too
am seed
