Planted Seeds (TH)

A man once said
love is planting a tree
whose shade you’ll never enjoy
for our limbs expire often
before the tops can kiss the sky,

& while thinking of your planted seeds
with future generations sprouting after
you make your return to the dirt,

it’s also love to stand tall for preservation
of all these stretching structures
still giving us breath through these years.
