Seedlings Dreaming

I would bet my house that you will enjoy this one

I was buried alive and woke underground

yet covered by darkness I dreamt of a flower,

tunneling skywards to follow my dream

the promise of light would color me green!

Emerging from darkness to cradle of blue

where pillows were clouds of marshmallow dew

I gleefully sprout off gorgeous gold rays

and sip from the soil sweet pure meadow rains.

And as petals unfurl to fragrance the breeze

I’m tickled by butterflies! Hummingbirds! Bees!

The fruits of my labor for everyone’s gain

I offer my beauty to lessen your pain...

So bury my seedlings neath blanket of dirt

         in darkness they’re dreaming

              of flowers on Earth
