The Planting Of A Seed

From the beginning of life

there was planted a seed,

for success and happiness

I have a great need.

Some go thru life

without want or care,

yet each morning I awake

my emptiness is there.

From the shadows of my soul

I feel a great urge,

much stronger than the oceans

with their powerful surge.

There’s an internal voice

saying alt that I want to be,

yet what must I do

to let my seed blossom free.
