A Simple Seed

I am but a simple seed,
Full of great promise.
I sit cold and damp.
Buried in silence. Waiting...
Starving for the truth.

A visitor arrives.
I welcome Mother Earth.
Surrounded by her grace,
She feeds me with her riches.
Her gifts of loving kindness fill me.
The emergence begins.

I rise from the darkness.
A blinding light is my host.
As its warm ember glow encases me,
Each one of my petals unfold.
My vibrancy exudes.

For I am now amongst the others
in the garden of love and light.
And in full bloom,
I'm ready to cultivate a new world.
