The Birth of a Seed
Pain is not a killer but a beginning of something great
I am a seed planted in the cradle of the warm earth
I am nurtured even by the water flowing inside the earth’s womb
I am unable to see anything yet, just darkness…
But I am able to feel the movement around me.
Cold, warm
Small, big
Smooth, prickly
Dry, wet
I am ONE with the world outside my shell
I want to see what is out there
Longing
Anticipating
Waiting
The fire inside my heart is aching… burning
And soon, I felt my body ache
I felt the throb and piercing
The pain was so intense that I cried nonstop
What is happening to me?
Have I done something to deserve this major discomfort?
I prayed to my maker…
But the pain did not subside
It did not STOP
It grew more intense
Too painful for me to bear
This is my end.
Soon, I felt the warm comfort
My eyes opened
Unraveled what the darkness deprived me of
My skin shivered because of the cold breeze
Lights and lots of colors bewildered me
So this is the world outside my shell…
All elements are blended in one magnificent CHEMISTRY.
A masterpiece in all its obvious and hidden glory
Then I realized that pain is not a killer
Pain can start and open doors
Beginning of a new journey
