Just a single grain Too small to in the pot have an impact So in the ground I scratched a hole Place and covered it and then about it forgot But the earth was fertile, the rains fell and the sun was hot And it so happened I had chosen a good spot The following year I passed that way again To my surprise there ready to reap was a super abundant crop Deciding to experiment I reaped and planted again the whole lot This time I ploughed the ground removing thorns and rocks The earth was fertile but still I added more Destroying every plant except those I wanted to grow And guarded against all that would the tender leaves destroy Month by month I marveled as the plants before my eyes grew There was another super crop in the making I knew Then came the time for me to reap again Eat it all I could not so I gave to my friends But this the harvest did not dent Replant it all I could not so the I had to sell A seed you may not have but it may be a thought in your head Act upon it and do not let it go to waste Who can tell with what reward to you one day it might return

About this poem:
I was refecting on a plant outside my window and it occurred that a single thought could produce similar results.

In all honesty the possibilities scare me.
