    You blossoming seed placed in sterile earth
    You'll soon find your soil
    for now harvest from dirt.
    Your soul can break it's earthly coil
    ride air of heavens tide
    it stays latent in clay carcass
    you have no choice but to abide.
    Yet walk morbid loam
    with head held high
    advance
    find what you seek.
    All manner of thorns imperil your path
    but they draw blood from the weak.
    So take it from me
    you'll be forced to your knees
    but the world stays at your feet.
    Like Icarus, soar and claim the sky
    be a rose that grew from concrete.

    I like the way the poem encourages one to keep one's held high despite being a seed that has found no soil so it can grow, like most of us go through a long proccess of trying to be settled.
