From the Depths of Hell

From the depths of hell
I have came
Deep dark and pitted
It was full of flames of anger
and bitter

In a small healthy corner
A seed was planted
Where sunshine shone on thee
With time, effort and patience
The seed grew some happy, healthy, green leaves.

A gift of support in water was given
Out of love and curiosity
To see if it would grow
anything else healthy and green

In this dark place of inner turmoil
Perhaps it could find peace

Soon the flames of anger were out
And the small insignificant seed
Had turned into a strong, happy, smiling tree
From that tree spread more life and love
From that tiny, insignificant seed
A forest of love began to sprout
