Dawn of Life

The dawn of life begins with a seed.

The protective shell shatters as green tendrils

begin to sprout and taste the  radiance of the

outside world.

There are days when it sputters,

cries,

and droops longingly,

but it continues to bloom,

with each new leaf

a different

shape,

color,

and texture.

Some eventually wither away,

but others latch on for infinity

in the form of

imprinted memories

and thoughts.

Its flimsy branches grow strong and branch out

in varying directions,

each a different path,

dream,

outcome.

Yet, all are connected

to the core of the tree.

No matter what elements may

befall on the tree,

or whatever disastrous luck

decides to inflict its pain,

it retains its solidarity  like a solider

and blossoms a final time.

The cycle continues,

and the sun beckons another one to arise.
