Here I was.. a motionless being
This box that I lay in, the coldest, Un-freeing
Untold are it's seedings, behold it's deceiving
A life full of roses disposed of it's meaning
The rows of the bleating, my families cries
Their hands in the skies,
Screaming & hollering, "the damn its & why's"
No bandage devised, I managed to die
The panic, its size, gigantic & wide
My wife, in front, was stronger then the darkest storm
My twins, so young, no longer share their fathers warmth
I lost my chance to watch them branch out & grow
To teach them all the things I've been proud to know
Life was never easy, things were grim for years
Then diminished fear arose from within my tears
I met their mother, she brought me hope & love
A rope to tug, some kind of hocus pocus stuff
How volcanoes erupt, the way the smoke arose above
Emotions, trust, All delivered within a stroke of luck
But.. I waited decades to see my life transform in shape
To watch who formed the clay,
Destroy & take, everything I felt I was born to make
My kids first crawl, steps, words, date & prom
Not to be erased, embalmed to taste the sod
Okay Okay, i'm staying calm
I always had a backup plan arranged
To span the days, watching as my kids began a phase
Before my last breath, I reached into my pockets quick
These magical seeds, I was given as an offering, gift
I swallowed them whole, then waited for the moment of truth
I will always be here, in tune, & they'll be knowing it soon
As they laid me to rest, within seconds I felt growing anew
Within days, I peeked out to the world, over the tomb
I could observe the life I lost, a new birth it's given me
Transfer this energy that I've been cursed with physically
No longer motionless, I sprouted, it's worth the imagery
I grew with my kids, flora & fauna, in perfect symmetry
