The Seed

Don’t wake me! said the seed
I’m snug and cosy here
dark richness of the earth
surrounds in layered tiers

The sun continued tickling
rays reaching down below
the bare and barren surface
convincing him to grow

It’s time for you to wake up,
the sun said with a laugh,
the earth is brown without you
it’s missing fresh green grass

Wriggling as the rays
tapped lightly on the seed
he slowly started stretching
ready to concede

Pointing at the sky
tender shoots declare
I’m really glad you woke me,
for Spring is in the air!
