Do you understand the point of this narrative poem?
In the wind...
there blows
a seed...
though tossed
and thrown
with every gust, within its heart there knows a need...
and it releases
fear...
to trust...
Just seeking life...
at some point
in time
to rest secure
in Mother Earth...
within its bosom, safe
and sublime...
lies secure the
purpose
of its
birth...
And
until nature,
who
sets the laws
and makes real
that life
within...
allows effect
to meet with
cause,
in a place where fate does send...
Just a crack
in stone...
so cold
and bare...
sharing only with windblown soil...
it finds its place,
not much
to share...
a just reward
for lack
of toil..
But with
purpose unfolding
in the light....
it gives of itself
what little there is...
and determined
to make it��s
purpose right,
receives it’s life
from a
rain-sent
kiss...
Many teardrops
give to this
seed
the basic elements of life...
and with the soil,
they satisfy it’s needs...
in spite of
circumstance
or strife

I think that the seed symbolizes laziness, which is finally rewarded by getting to sprout in a crack in the concrete, representing the lazy one's niche. Then the lazy seed shapes up its act and is rewarded by getting cried on, symbolizing the ultimate futility of our human--or in this case radixoid--nature. I'm not sure what the excessive ellipses and forced rhymes signify, though....
