Reach up from
underneath
and spread your
golden dreams

The green of new
life rises from
the dark deep
of underground

Release the cold
from your spindle
bones and desire
for the sun

Drink of liberty
to grow form
a lone, lost
single seed

Ignore the
cancerous
disease of a
steel cage

And weep your
tears of joy
as your petals
reach above.

This piece is sort of a sequel to my other poem posted "Seeds". I wanted take into consideration the seed's story.
