Impatiently stirring in darkness
a seed in the womb of the earth
stretching and yearning and slowing unfurling
searching and searching for light
Casting off the veil of its seedhood
shedding the skin of its youth
budding and bursting and suddenly thirsting
searching and searching for light
Knowing not what it might be
caring not where it might sprout
growing and reaching and rapidly moving
searching and searching for light
Thrusting itself towards the heavens
bare newborn covered in dew
hoping and dreaming and artlessly scheming
searching and searching for light

Quite like the structure of the poem.
Thanks!
