Look up, look up now
Define silence this moment
winged seeds in flight
a craft set sailing
on the old tide of the wind
with wings fixed for flight
silent breeze trailing
from there where all things begin
this seed set alight
look up, look up then
and ask after this riddle
ask of they that fly
who writes the message
that you carry on the wind
from what book what page
oldest messenger
tree sings its ancient refrain
runes read in the earth
stark shadow on white
fleeting in a cold fall sky
moment out of time
see only traces
no one can read its message
only dancing light
a crystal spiral
ever decreasing circle
seed flies only once
this brilliant cycle
authored by the lonely wind
the old song plays on
Ask the seed ask why
it knows not what it falls, falls
follows destiny
Ask where the seed goes
it only holds the message
follows gravity
are you searching, child
for some eternal answer
in a seed in flight
why, yes you ask why
you see there is no answer
that the mind can find
only what will come
when the mind is silent, calm
an unspoken truth
the seed is just seed
there is no special meaning
things are what they seem
so each seed must fall
fall and perish in the ground
fall and rise again
