"Alive"

When the tiny seed fell into the earth,
And was engulfed in darkness
It thought that was it..life was over even before it could begin
It thought so until the warmth seeped in,
The moisture provided comfort
And it started to soften its hard covering!

It was amidst the blind spot,
It learned the most important lesson..
This was the beginning and it had to keep its might..
Cause it yearned to see light..
" I must..I must.." the little seed proclaimed..
So it learned..
To rise..to use the darkness as its pillar,
And push harder..

It took a while, but through the earth it peeked,
The passing air gave it a touch as if to reassure..
The first ray of sun made it feel something it had never really felt before..
Alive!
Alive! Alive! Alive!

The tiny seed was now a sapling full of life..
