Liner Notes
#skirmish #growing
Nice prompt, had a go...
Lyrics
Beneath the sky, so vast and wide,
A seed takes root where dreams reside.
Through storm and sun, it learns to climb
Incorporating hearts and minds
As each leaf grows a story unfolds
Of strength that springs from depths untold
The branches reach, the roots take hold
Ideas spreading like wildfire
Growth is not a clear straight line
It twists and turns, takes on signs
And in the struggle, in the fight
We find our way into the light
From the seed, into the light
(c) words and music G Todd 2025

Your productivity is always amazing. And here's another winner. Growth is not a clear straight line... Truer words never spoken!

Love your voice - this has a very wonderful folk feel. Kudos. The imagery in the second verse is spot on. It’s all fab

Nice metaphor... It reads like a poem. And I really like the sound of your voice on this song.

This is really quite lovely, there are some inspired lines in here (I particularly like the internal rhyme of "As each leaf grows a story unfolds"). Really great take on the prompt!
