The Next Cycle

Once there was darkness,
Once there was chill,
I was pushed into dirt
I sat very still
And, buried, I felt a tug of despair
Will I ever feel sunshine?
Will I ever breathe air?
And as I was sitting,
I could feel a slight stir
Could it be I was growing
Even buried in earth?
The darkness it stretched me
I set my roots there
But set my sights upward
As I strained for the air.
One morning I burst through
Out into the light
I can’t even explain
What a glorious sight.
And the buds that I’m setting
Will bloom too in time
And seed the next cycle
And feed the next rhyme.


Thanks for reading, friends! I hope you have a wonderful day!

Please tell me that the nest is out of cat's reach.

It's tucked up in a very safe little spot. The mom's biggest concern seems to be me startling her every time I walk outside.
