Ingrid what a breath taking piece you've penned here dear lady ....

One tiny seed refused
to surrender
to the elements and
transformed into
a beautiful tree with a
firm trunk and big branches.
^^^
The will to survive .... wonderful message between the lines dear friend

It was not until then
I realized
how much I longed
to return to his green pastures
and walk amidst the flowers
in his garden of paradise.

What a beautiful poem. I love the life sustaining message.

It was not until then
I realized
how much I longed
to return to his green pastures
and walk amidst the flowers
in his garden of paradise.

And as I cross the threshold
I can almost smell the roses.

These lines really touched me.
Great Job!
Love Cindy

Metaphorically awesome Ingrid! So beautiful!
we give them life then watch them grow...til they no longer need us in one sense!

"It no longer needs
my loving care
to stay alive
It knows how
to survive and endure
even the heaviest of storms
and the biggest of floods
because I taught it how."

^ love these lines.....an inspiration! Take care, Debbie

Wow this is unique and different from alot of the poems i read its wonderful the wording and format. i like the fact you describe what you miss and the situation is clear. it makes a person want to miss that land even though they haven't been there. keep writing

I enjoyed this poem, the metaphors, well every thing.

My seed is still only a sapling, well maybe a very young tree. Still needing support and will do for some time yet. I look forward to stepping back and marvelling at how strong he is now, knowing no storm will snap his precious branches.

Good write

Michael
