Seed of Faith
A tiny seed
born of need
Planted deep
within the soil of my heart.
Will it not depart?
This seed of faith
Laid deep;
Solitary.
It’s sheath decays,
Lying prey
to all that prowls
without its beckon;
Death to reckon.
This seed of faith;
It’s treasures now lay bare,
Deep below;
Darkness surrounds;
All hope is lost;
This tiny seed broken,
Laying bare
the promises within.
With hope yet abandoned,
Evidence appears,
Though barely visible.
Out of death,
New life;
It’s journey to begin;
Delicate.
It’s purpose to fulfill.
Faith not forsaken
Begins its way;
To unfold,
through darkness,
it’s promises within.
