The sure sprout

 


 

A cargo of fruit

Transported afar

Into unknown lands

To spread the seed

And the taste of pulp

Surges to make his furrow

Digs deep into soil

Moulds his own spade

Awaits opportune clime ..

The twig where he shone

Dangles in the same wind

Stretches to find the mark

He has left behind on the soil

The bark that held him firm

Amidst the tempest continues

To meditate amidst wonted sap

The root that carried the crown

Upon his pale forehead all this while

Throned upon well spread flanks

Is nowhere to be seen

The one that held his fort

Amidst enticing gush of floods

The one who stood stout in famine

He conveyed tale he could hear

Shredded in lost whisper of clouds

That had for long vanished silently

Then the leaf opened her lid

To prepare hope for supper

Till when the thud of loaded fruits

Brings a sigh of achieved purpose .
