Seeds

© 2017 by P Michael Biggs




Behold a seed.
It holds everything necessary
for life to be continued.
It’s all there,
in one little seed.

I search out seeds
of ideas, every day.
Looking for nuggets
of thoughts
that just may bring
hope alive in fellow travelers.

Behold the potential of a seed.
Behold the abundance one seed can offer.
With proper planting,
and nurturing,
the harvest bursts forth.

Is it a harvest of good …?
good food,
good shade,
good beauty,
good words and deeds?

I possessed the seed of
an idea once.
I thought, pondered, researched,
asked questions, wrote,
pondered some more.

And behold …
the seed grew into an entity,
an entity called Up-Words.

Bill Gates’ seed became Microsoft,
and then the Gates Foundation.
Mr. Boeing’s seed became a plane.
Thomas Jefferson’s seed became America.

Mustard seeds or avocado seeds ...
Small or large, they serve a purpose.
What will become of your seed?
