A seed which flutters in the wind has no control. A random landing, then specific conditions to be met for the seed to grow.

Absolutely no control.

There is a saying that, "The seed that travels the farthest grows the sweetest."

Well, at least now there is. I think I made it up.

What it means is that you cannot control where you go in life and you are not sure you will even reach your goal in the end, but the experience of travel will season you, and if acceptable those who "travel" the farthest will have the richest lives.

Since you have no control, fear and frustration can sometimes overwhelm you, hut if you hope to land and grow your journey can be a pleasant one.

I think if this is to be a poem Ace, stop at 'Well, at least now there is. I think I made it up' After that this is a piece of philosophical reflection intended to teach more than anything else.

A seed which flutters in the wind has no control.
A random landing,
then specific conditions to be met
for the seed to grow.

Absolutely no control.

There is a saying that,
"The seed that travels the farthest grows the sweetest."

Well, at least now there is. I think I made it up.

Not a poem at all, just an idea I had which others enjoyed reading. Thank you though :)

I was waiting for some feedback on this small, very brief piece before posting a more experimental, yet much stronger, piece.

Well, it seems that this is the "seed" to a larger piece about the topic of hope. It all seems very logical and abstract, but you may want to soften it with some concrete examples.
