I Am A Seed

~ Frank Solanki

I am a seed
Yes, only a seed
Do not be fooled by my stature
Or by these long, wavy arms
Dotted with green leaves, winged creatures and crawling critters

I may seem imposing and intimidating
Beautiful and artistic
A masterpiece of nature
But believe me when I say
I am just a seed

Deep inside this solid trunk
Is a heart that may not be visible to your eyes
But it is there and it is beating
With the same beats that beat when
I was the size of a pea
In that heart lies a voice
That tells me despite the years gone by
I am still a seed

When I close my eyes
I reflect upon the time
And experiences I have had
I remember some of them most vividly
Most of them make me smile
Yes, when I close my eyes
I forget who I really am
I become a child again
The darkness is a magical time-machine
That takes me all the way back
Before all the twigs came to be
Before all the flowers blossomed
Before I sprouted
I lose myself in those thoughts
Blurring the thin line of reality
As I contemplate about anything and everything

  4. This just makes me think about how small we are in comparison to the planet, the universe. Though life seems so overwhelming at times, though we feel old and experienced, we are such a small part, and know so little.
