Seed Secrets

dark earth

is where seeds hide

biding their time 

until the sun melts

winter's chilly 

snow cape blanket 

​

seed DNA twists become 

secret bridges linking

hibernation to germination 

awakening sleeping seeds 

coaxing their sprouts to 

wiggle lively upward searching 

reaching for the warming sun 

growth from the inside out

​

where vital sun

sparks chlorophyll into action

initiating green growth 

flowering and food
