Gone to Seed
September 25, 2021
A seed to a sapling
A death turned to life
A burnt carcass of a fallen tree
Felled by the cruel axe
A final leaf falling from the flames
A skeleton leaf
Carrying a world of life
A whisper killing coal-black silence
A shout saying nothing
A life that steals death
And death that spares life
A trust broken
And a lie believed
And a sapling turns to seed
