Today

Today,

today
we are only a seed.

But tonight,

tonight,
we are a dream,

a dream full of branches,
full of the tree we are to grow up into.

A dream
to tree
to be
to grow
to believe.

This seed
has all it needs,

all it needs
to get started,

and along
that along the way
we'll be fortunate enough

enough
to get all the rest.

The first roots
to keep us upright
planted now

our first flowers to fly open 
when the birds come bearing nests.

Today

today
we grow.

Today

today
I am more than the sum of yesterday,

and that extra
has me wondering,

forever
wondering
whatever
else
is playing along
in this game.

We've barely
come
to understand
the what
that it takes

to make it
here
through an ordinary day

To take the seed
and run with the dream
and make tomorrow.

Where does all this else
land

Where else can feet go
when light as clouds
