The Seed

 I planted a seed long ago,

And it took root in my mind.

I sheltered it and watered it,

With every drop that I could find.

The seed grew into a fine tree,

And spread its branches all around.

It grew tall towards the sky ,

But its roots were firmly in the ground.

Then somewhere along the way.....

The tree grew wings!

And it flew away all alone.

Venturing boldly,
On a journey unknown.

 The mind called it back,

Because that was where it should stay.

But the heart did not listen,

And the tree kept flying away.

The farther from my mind it went,

 The closer to my heart it came.

There were struggles it would have to face,

But it kept flying all the same.

And then it took root in my heart,

Much to my fascination.

 It is now so real,

Was it ever just a figment of my imagination?
