I Am the Seed

I am the seed not the sower

I have given what I could

Placed in the warm dark earth

Where the light never reaches

A great many lands to roam

Land that was ours to use

But I live in silence

I am the seed

Out from the womb I was helpless

I would receive what I could

Even before I could walk

I rebelled fast against them

Nothing had I to fear

Only delight for years

Now I live in silence

I am the seed

Everything now lies fallow

Nothing gives what it once did

Plans that at one time I had

Have become only barren

I wait for the hand to deal

I wait for the rain to heal

And I live in silence

I live in silence

I am the seed

What have you to bring?
