The Plant of Life

I arouse one day, a seed planted into the ground 

I will flourish but eventually fall and be re-built

I’m in the center of the world 

As I look up I see only one thing standing in between the world and me  

Nature 

I am the sunrise that sets to depart at my time 

When it pours my seed sprouts and I rise 

As daybreaks and the nightfall passes 

The others flourish by 

They come and go just like a cycle that never ends 

I can drop back into the soil any second because of nature 

Steam

Cyclone

Sun

Blizzard 

All natural disasters that can make me perish 

When I seek beyond my forthcoming 

I wonder will I live again 

Looking into the white dense turbulent   

Further than I reach thinking 

Will I see the leaves be reborn 

Will I be as tall and firm as the others 

Because just in a second I can be gone 

A human form can walk by

Drop a reefer and I can be gone 

I can be melted like a skull on fire or a burning wood and turn into ash 

We can be zapped out of existence

Deforestation 

And no one will care 

But I will live again 

I will continue to grow

And grow. 

When that day comes 

I will be ready 

To be awakened and animate all over again
