The Seed Poem by obed Souza
The Seed
The Seed
“ He also said, “ This is what the Kingdom of God is like. A man scatters seed on the ground.” (Mark: 4: 26)
There goes out a sower
A wheat field to plough, soils to dig
In the desert, a garden grower
Fighting against the prig.
Shallow soil, grain withered away
Scattered along the path, put to scorn
Eaten by fowls, hope gone ashtray
Heir of death, planted among the thorn.
Seed scattered on willing ground
One knows not how
All by itself, a way is found
Less than all that be.
Springs, sprout – a bough.
Birds perch in this shade
Such a treasure! The heart swayed
A secret land, not toiled by human hand.
Harvest time, buds on twigs
Seed for the reaper
Bread for the hunger.
God would find a way to provide for his people........ he is such a loving God. Jesus' grace on you In Christ's name Amen.

Obed, You traslate the ideas from The Bible wonderfully well in poetic form. I loved this poem.10+++++++++ from me. CP
Yes, all is stored up in tiny seeds, God's promises are true and so is the case with the human seeds. When the seeds sprout and grow into harvest, it's time to cultivate. A beautiful write, with deep meaning!
I have read alot into this poem.The way we live is the way we die. What we sow we reap.The line that intrigues me is where hope is mentioned, It can be cultivated and grown like you say. Shallow soil or shallow waters do not deliver. I wrote many years ago in my first collection of poems 'Droving': 'Dig not earth that's only inches deep, Nor sail in waters where the willows weep- Rocky ground no riches can possess, Shallow waters yield no more or less.' I think we might be both on the same wavelength. Loved your poem.M.M.
the lord plants the seeds, and we reap the benefits. as the seed we must become the food which is shared by mankind. AN EXCELLENT WRITE 10 10 10 10
cultivate the soil plant the seeds seeds of good quality to have a good harvest... seeds must be planted well in a land wet and ploughed tillage should be properly manage to make the seeds grow eaisly... if you plant a seed plant it with care cover it with a warm soil water it with love...grace
