Seed

Surrounded in darkness
Drowned, suffocated, buried
Body splitting asunder
Ripped in twain
Insides bursting out

Pushed to the surface
Changing colours
Sprouting up and up
I’ll never reach the sky
I’ll never stop trying

Dead and alive again

Image Description: A maple key lies in wet, black earth. A small green sprout extends from the split seed portion of the key.
