My heart is full of love
More than it has been in many years

I was a seed that could not grow
A star that could not shine

I have wriggled and fought
Burned cold and alone

To break free of the soil
To shine down from the sky

The words will not sing for me
My heart has found the water of my soul
The dusk of another day

My heart is full of love

I was a seed that could not grow
A star that could not shine

I have wriggled and fought

To break free of the soil
To shine down from the sky

The words will not sing for me
My heart has found the water of my soul
The dusk of another day

An odd image and representation to me.
The last stanza is my favorite, if it's in the sense of your heart being a seed like yourself.
What I see in this, is just about anything, is in itself much like a seed. Your voice, lies in your chest, waiting to sprout, and grow into a beautiful tree of expression. You have been a seed yourself, going throughout life, not yet nurtured with joy and peace, your shell taking all kinds of punishment, and yet you remain intact. Someday, that seed will sprout, and every facet of life will have its own new take, or perception.

Life is always a little rough around the edges, but beautiful nonetheless. :) I liked this one.
