Oh, how I desire
To be like a tumbleweed
That even in death
I can roll with the kind wind
And continue spread my seeds.

Plants have different ways of propagation! Through bees, other insects and animals, wind and natural process, they propagate. Tumbleweed when it falls down is carried away by the wind and as it rolls over the sand, innumerable seeds are strewn all around. In congenial surroundings they germinate! Your wish to spread the seeds of your good action is beautifully summed up in these short lines. A very profound write!
Very attractive poem. The rolling tumbleweed, seemingly dead, carries an infinite number of seeds or spores that would germinate once they reach the right environment. The very purpose of the ‘journey ‘ of the tumbleweed is this. Thus, though it may look dead, it is live, a million times alive than a living plant, living being.
Originally beautiful and unforgettable! Heartfelt and deeply conceived! 5 stars brightly shinning with ease.
