Had a ground,
trees everywhere, but no shade
Leaves everywhere, but no fruit
Nourished the ground sometimes
ignored it too
felt this disappointment
as if there's nothing I could do
But always, a glimmer of hope was there
Flowers sprouted, and smiled at me
but a blizzard came,
and the happy flowers died suddenly
the flowers came again,
so did the blizzard,
Leaving the ground ,
icy cold and dead
Then came a gardener,
with assurance of fruits
and flowers too
but some how that seemed
too good to be true
As in life,
things that seem too good
don't turn out like that
The gardener was a monster
who wanted to cut all trees
and make the ground flat
Getting rid of the gardener
came at a price
the ground perimeters needed to be sealed
with wires sharp enough to slice
Saw a seed now
trying to break its way into the ground
should I throw it away?
or leave where it was found
Am I ready to
raise my hopes again,
and watch them die
or should I be more careful,
the gardener was dealt with,
but next time i might not be so lucky
But does that mean,
I would never give life a chance
to sprout and flower and fruit
or should I surrender
and maybe lose all trees in pursuit
Its a decision,
I am not yet ready to take
I ll keep the seed
where there are no trees in its wake
Maybe flowers will come
and i'll see them fruit just fine
Maybe there'll be shade
with the leaves this time
