tree

on restless ground i stand anew
like a stubborn seed which suddenly grew
amidst these promises i stand affirmed
like this stubborn seed which turned to a stem
open-eyed and shall no longer be deceived
with this stem which grew some leaves
shallow thoughts now i understand
now the leaves outstretched some bulky branch
all my life now i feel free
like the stem had independently turned to a tree
in this new life ill walk straight and to walk indeed
for this new tree had brought its first seed
