All The Storms Listen.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

a seed is lifted
from that rocky soil
taken by the water
to the fertile site where
it had all the opportunity
for growth

it sprouts, grows into a
big tree
it tip even touches the sky
and claims to be
one of the gods in heaven

it looks down on the water
sheds off its leaves
and does not remember
the rocky soil where it once
came

the rivers and seas got mad
rages upon its roots
surges and carries it back
from its humble beginning

the one that tells this story
is the wind and all the
storms listen with all attention.
