Growing

Growing

By Brandon Palzkill

Spiraling, spinning helicopter seeds

Falling from the maple tree

Sinking, buried; they’ll start to grow

And soon it towers for all to see.

A Miracle of Nature

A Miracle of Nature

By Brandon Palzkill

A simple stream, alive with dreams

Of growing big and strong

Will gradually, a river, be

With booming, roaring song.

A tiny seed, beneath the weeds

May fight its leafy shrouds

‘til it does rise, up to the skies

A tree, amongst the clouds.

A sunny day might fade away

Behind the coming rain,

But storms dissolve above us all

And light returns again.

But sun and seed and stream will lead

To nature’s rainbow hues

Come summertime, the days will shine

In yellows, greens, and blues.
