Seeds of Change

By Davida Enara

Watch the seeds of change,

Watch them as they grow,

 

Till the earth with your bones,

And water it with your sweat, 

 

Crave the nectar from its fruit,

And peel away its shiny skin,

 

Tear apart its meaty flesh,

Let its juices quench your thirst,

 

Climb upon its sturdy tree,

Blend its bark and leaves,

 

Smooth their mix into your skin,

And use its sap to wash your hair.

 

Watch the seeds of change,

Reap their yield, when left to grow.
