Acorn

o acorn stuck in my hand

I love you too much
to not place you back where I found you
and give you back the life I robbed you

I hope it wasn't a tragedy
to drop you into the ground
for you to burrow for some spark
of inspiration, motivation, and direction

great tree that you'll be
take my blessing to live a life worth mentioning.
and learn it was never all that bad to wallow

in the earth to undergo a transformation 

one day we'll look back
and see we were just two acorns
caught in a windy situation
that threw us into our perfect location
