The penultimate piece was inspired by Alice Oswald‘s, ‘A Winged Seed’. The idea was to write a piece based on the idea of a seed, or a spore, travelling, or germinating.
Enlightening Seeds
Sitting, just sitting…
waiting for illumination.
There is nothing
more that I can do,
other than…
sitting, sitting, waiting
for my head to crack open
in a cacophony of life,
shattered and broken,
to all that I am.
No longer
sitting,
but waiting,
waiting for that explosion of growth,
to rip forth and pull me from mundanity,
and thrust me upon the world;
as what?
I know not,
so I will sit,
and wait,
upon this breath,
of fresh air.
