Oh, tiny seed buried deep in the earth Lying, lifeless, deep down in your grave. Consumed by the dark, abandoned and helpless, Unable to seek the light that you crave. This is your world now into which you have been cast his is your lot, and this where you stay Dormant and still, anticipating, expectant, Thirsting to breathe the fresh air of day. All light is extinguished in your tiny prison Surround by the debris and soil of this hell. Suffocating, constricting and crushing against your only protection, Your hard outer shell. But, with you in the dark is goodness and richness Silently seeping to the warmth of within. Tender and slow, infiltrating unseen, Nature allows new life to begin. From your soul is a stirring of a familiar feeling Growing in strength day after day. Increasing and pulsing, forcing, surging Until the hard outer husk of your life breaks away. Released from your prison you are free to become That which you were made and created to be. Pushing and driving, through the soil of the earth Unrelenting, persistent until you are free. Oh, tiny seed buried deep in my heart Given up for dead in this dark world of sin. I long for you to break free from your prison and break forth Into life from your grave deep within. |
