SEEDS

BY MANDA MOONLIGHT

Germinating in the midst
Of this dark and gloomy
place

I never really had roots
To lay into
The earth

I was broken, or
so I thought
and yet,

Strength is building
in me, beyond what
I knew to
measure

I feel the beckoning
to release above
this soil

I reach towards my
new found purpose

My roots feel safe in
this place I
once felt
damaged me

The elements combine
in an overwhelming
moment of
growth

I still am discovering
what I am

and yet,

there is beauty in
the mystery

for this process is
mere magick | MM
