Down to Earth Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION

I feel like a seed that is looking for a place to grow, but the wind is keeping me up in the air. It's like I am looking down from the sky, and it is fun. But I keep seeing good places I could grow; and just as I think I am going to land, the wind takes me up again.

Sometimes it even feels like a bird might just eat me right out of the sky; it is then that I am thankful that the wind takes me away again. Still, I wish more than anything to be able to land next to some clean water and grow into a beautiful plant.

From time to time I get scared though; what if I land in a bad spot and I am not be able to grow because of too many weeds? What if I don't get enough clean water? What if I am in the wind too long and I get too old and dry to grow? A bird would not even eat me then; what good would I be?

I can see a beautiful place to grow up ahead. Oh, how I pray for rain to come and bring me down to grow here. If only I had a little help to get down to earth. I will have a lot of work to do to get roots in on time before the cold comes; but I know spring will come. I know I can do it, I just need to get down to earth.

Down to earth
Aziz Kassim | Apr 11th, 2006
It is a great descriptive poem. I enjoyed it so much. It makes me to fly almost like the seed and want to land but i couldn't because of the wind. It makes me to imagine my self as a person who want to have peace and love but many situations(wind) always stopping me from landing(reaching my aim) which is to land down to earth spread peace and love. However, i am going to keep trying becaue i know wind will not always strong there will be someday when the wind is quite and the water is clean. thank you, Aziz
