Poem inspired by young calligrapher, singer & songwriter, Samara Ribbens.
seed must crack for sprout to grow
bulb buried deep sends roots below
sepals stretch for blossom to show
rain must fall so green life can flow
hope for harvest gain, in pain we sow
such tearful truth we shall die to know!

Seedtime and harvest…just used that foundational verse in a WWII novel I’m writing. The rhythms of nature steady us on our journeys! Thanks.
