by Mark Weinrich

What a masterpiece is chambered
in a seed, artistry flowing
from the inside out. As light 
directs symphony of water,
temperature, and time.
And like a spark from flint
a single note ignites the song of life. 
Against the world’s course 
it selflessly sings. And notes
arise and ring, until 
every note is spent 
in lifting others.
