Sleeping Giants

SLEEPING GIANTS
Jack Kelly

Each seed I see
Comes wrapped in a cloak
Filled with pregnant potential;
Waiting to be awakened
By a benevolent Spirit
Whose potent power 
Transforms hard shells to
Soft, fragrant flowers.

Each person I see
Comes wrapped in a cloak
Filled with pregnant potential;
Waiting to be awakened
By a benevolent Spirit
Whose potent power
Transforms base instincts to
Noble virtues.

Neither fame nor fortune
Can achieve such transformation
But only a soul
Willing to surrender 
To the womb of silence
Within.
