Seed Food

Thorin N. Tatge

As sung by Reba of Rivermill on Chimaera MUCK

For the food inside a seed

is the only food we know

And the food inside a seed

is the only food we knoo-oow...

Air in the mouth of the world is the place where the trees conversed alone

and for a million years, they only said

how sweet it was

how very very sweet...

Feasting on delicate things at his table, the king

declared the best in the world

was what he was seeing

and what he was smelling

and what he was tasting at

that very moment...

For the food inside a seed

is the only food we know

And the food inside a seed

is the only food we knoo-oow...

Snug in the egg in the womb of the mother, the grower grew and grew.

It rolled around the universe, and said:

There is no up

There is no down

There is no in or out...

Eating the flesh of a fruit, a boy met a seed

that was eating the very same thing,

and they looked at each other

and laughed at each other

and agreed to split the meal

right down the middle...

And the food inside a seed

is the only food we know

For the food inside a seed

is the only food we need... or know... or know.
