I Planted a Seed

I planted a seed In my fervent youth, Down, where the abundant streams flow. In a secret place, with living water. There, I planted a seed. Moved by the touch of virgin faith, deep where the ground meets the rising water, and from within the center of this earth of soil there vitality ensues. There, I planted a seed A purposeful sough, in the depths of those woods where an innocent sincerity drives a new-born life towards the sky. There, I planted a seed. Time has passed, In lost memories and new-birthed dreams, Leaving me lost between nostalgia and mystery, yet, I remember a stream. Yes, there I planted a seed. The sun has risen of this wanderer's path such a scorching inferno in the sky, relentless pounding on a cursed ground, here, I walk through fire… Still, I planted a seed Sown with faith and nourished with love, And though I walk through this blaze I will not be burned. More seasons have come and gone, Like a shooting star, in and out of sight. Time has changed things, time has aged life My Heart Cries "Oh, though the world fades away Though the times they will change, Truth holds on". I planted a seed, a seed in the soil truth down by the riverbed of life… there I knew what I had to do. Such a passionate response from a sincere youth. The land was lush and the water pure… I planted a seed so deep as to never be removed. And now… all has wavered, I barely remember who I was in those days, Amidst the desert, in this gloom. Still I remember I planted a seed. I planted a seed where I poured my faith, And now…I wait for its bloom.
