The Sleeping Seed


Deep in the ground

a tiny seed sleeps

compact and safe

with a promise to keep


The winter wind blows

covering the land with snow

the small seed waits

for the sun to glow


Melting comes

there is a thaw across the land

the tiny seed awakens

an alarm sounding band


Like the sun rising

growth begins

expansion and blooms

an imaginative grin


Bees buzz

spreading its nectar

in the fullness of life

the show is spectacular


Renewal in the spring

to growth in the summer

new seeds emerge from the flower

into the ground for the winter slumber


Life is precious

harmonious in the cycle

a testament to wonder

beauty in revival
