PLANT A SEED
by Irina Björklund
1.
a sigh of silence
pushes through the concrete veil
and a leaf peeks out
2.
I’m the messenger
he says, don’t fear me, hear me -
do not frame the wild
3.
time is running short
the wild will survive and thrive
after you are gone
4.
please do understand
when you cut and burn my kind
your breath’s lost, not mine
5.
be brave and give space
look the wildlife in the face
and let it restore
6.
be considerate
of what you put on your plate
what loss did it cause?
7.
the seas need a break
humanity is at stake
growth… now what is growth?
8.
I spring from a seed
I give all that you will need
to reverse the time
9.
plant a seed, a tree
plant as many as you see -
air for you and me
10.
the wild - does it need
fuels of fossil to survive -
what an idea!
11.
trust the sun, the seas
trust the breeze that we breathe, it’s
all that we will need
12.
balance can be found
energy is all around
search and we shall thrive
13.
offer me your hand
trust the wild, trust your land, help,
help me multiply
14.
plant a seed, a tree
plant as many as you see
air for you and me

Thanks for this! I remember a phrase I came across, it goes like this:
"Imagine if trees gave free wifi. We'd all be planting them like crazy.
It's a pity they only give us the oxygen we breathe" 😥
