I am a seed again
Hooray!
it helps me think afresh

I recognise myself
as perpetual beginner
when it comes to writing

a forever apprentice
if you will
and being a seed

again
helps me with living
that kind of life

it is a wonderful reset
seeing the world anew
popping my head up

to be responsive to the light
to embrace new growth
learning practice renewal

I can see with new eyes
listen better with ears attuned
to my environment

pace my growth
in accordance with
who I am

seed or not
the world has much
to offer

a chance to start
my journey
all over again

my secret is
that I am starting again
with what I already know

so maybe avoid
the crooked growth
from before

reach out straight
head for the light
avoid distractions

grow grow grow
I’m ready for
new life
