Coiled seed slumbers in moist earth
Soft calls weave around the peripheral
Singing ‘Space is deep, space is deep’
Urges to rise and reach for the sun
Rush in circular motions
Within dancing molecules
‘Time to waken, time to grow’
Ancient inherent memory
Oracle of healing powers to offer
Musical notes peel through soil
Ryhthmic vibrations buzz within
Voices sing of mystery
Yet sister trees whisper gravely
Protective of young siblings
Tales of tainted air and death
Energy stirs regardless
Light photosynthesises
With water and air
Equation of life:
CO2 + H2O + Energy = (Chlorophyll) Organic Compounds + O2
Moringa Oleifera gracious one
Chooses to give and give
Sustenance and healing for those
Who offer in return
The death sentence
For us all…
I universal spirit
Live deep within Moringa
I dwell in all that lives
Hear my last word
For I shall speak no more
'Be good stewards of life'
Author notes
Moringa Oleifera - a white flowered tree with amazing healing properties. Placing its leaves in water sterilises it. It's a powerhouse of nutrition and contains endless health benefits. All but the roots can be utilised for humans use. I'm currently growing 5 Moringa seeds to plant in my garden. I heard of plants that grow towards certain music and wrap around the source of it so I'm playing music to the seeds.
I urge everyone to plant trees and other plants anywhere you can! THEY GIVE US LIFE!!!

Moringa Oleifera - Tree with beneficial qualities
I read:
A germinating seed and its connectedness to moist surroundings.
It's energy and inclination.
Itself a mystery in a mystery.
Knowledge of threat.
Nature is followed regardless.
Life
Beneficence in plants and herbs.
Squandered not respected.
Spirit speaks-
Reminding us that mankind have been given the position of responsibility, as maintainers and caretakers of the world.
--------------------
I totally agree with your message, exposed with a richness of depth and thank you for sharing your 'eye' into aspects of our nature and position.
A most worthy write indeed!

This is a very good translation of my poem. I was aiming for the largeness in the smallness. God being able to fit into a seed and filling universes.

Thanks for confirming that my 'take' wasn't far away from the intention.
I think you were very successful and much liked this.
The contest was really hard to judge in that many entries were so good, I do hope you'll look out for my next one.
Much thanks to you.

Be good, Stewart of Life...
As a terminal bud develops, it spirals through empty space, deploying, unfurling leaves in patterns of mathematical ratios that are specie specific. 2 leaves in one turn, 1/3, 2/3, 3/5, etc. These are called phyllotaxic ratios. It is one of the "Golden" phenomenas and is repeated in the solar system, in the ratios of the times the planets take to navigate around the sun. The same math...
I have a poem at Deercatcher, called "Golden" that I dashed off in about 5 minutes that has Golden ratios in it, and it fits the Marquat beauty mask (Golden ratios in the design of the human face) in the font I first printed it. The writing of the poem was one of the strongest "God sightings" in my life. Hope you are wwwell. -
Hello (Wont say your name as this piece is in a contest). Your piece has a very druid Wicca vibe to it. It's a good write, informative with an air of mysticism about it. I know that you mentioned that you play the tune that you downloaded from my site, and once again I am deeply honoured, thank you. You might want to check out the link I shall paste in here. It shows the effect music has on water: http://www.life-enthusiast.com/twilight/research_emoto.htm
Anyway, best of luck in this contest, and I do hope that your seeds grow into wonderful trees.
My regards.

I love this contest idea, and I keep coming to check in new entries.
I love your equation..I think that was clever addition to your poem..
Your poem was excellent and I agree about planting and the benifits we get from the trees.
Everything in this world is connected. everyone,everything in earth needs others to survive..what an Amazing Creator!
Best of luck in the contest

Incredibly Beautiful
Hi Georgia,
This is a stunning write. Yes, the plants and green herbs all have their purposes. It is a mystery that more that should discover. I have never heard of moringa oleifera but I will see if I can find it over here.
I pray your health is improved and all is well. School is out - finally - and I have two weeks of leisure before the summer session starts. I am teaching this summer for 4 weeks.
Be blessed.
Joanne
