Seedling of the Tide – Bloom where your planted

 “Don’t go through life, grow through life.” – Eric Butterworth

Life is given riding with the tide

On those waves the seed will ride

Being planted with the water’s flow

Giving birth to a crowning show

Breaking it’s shell the water will nurse

the babe of life, breaking the tide’s curse

for the seed’s journey where never to end

had the tide not released it on the sharp bend

So follow your course, feeling the ebb and know

Soon you can be planted no more to roam

Traces – Trails left behind

“Do not go where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path 

and leave a trail” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Hungry dirt records my passage

Fading trails showing, 

I was here

Homes I left in a hurry

Leaves dropped

when I scurried

Nature’s bones scattered around

Seeds haplessly planted

Bring unexpected life
