The Seedling
The seed of love
you've planted
in my heart....
Where I thought
none could survive.
Tiny roots spring forth,
surging, searching
for nourishment.
Breaking apart
the hardness there.
With tender care
you water it....
and watch it grow.
The long, strong stem
bursts upward
Fighting for life, and
finding your light.
A bud, so fragile,
so determined
Swells into fullness
filling my breast.
Green healing leaves
reach out,
Unfolding one by one
erasing our sadness.
Soft, pink petals
as loving as you..
Envelope my heart
finding completion.
Glowing moon and stars
dim in comparison
To the blossom
created by our love.
