Deeply Rooted

Poetry challenge

Day 7

Deeply Rooted

I watched it grow

Every day

That deeply rooted soul

And underneath

The dew-filled earth

Lay a seedling few days old

That seed began

To sprout one day

The beginnings of new life

And painful as

The process be

It was worth all the strife

It’s in those winter months

You see

That the roots must dig down deep

To thrive and stretch

And grow despite

The difficulty

All the hard work

stirs Far below

In this deeply rooted soul

It’s the only way

That come someday

This seedling just might grow

Into the radiant

Life-filled being

Once packaged very small

The blooming of

A wonderful

And deeply rooted soul

So, what’s within a seed, you ask?

Maybe no one knows

Until those roots struggle long enough

That nothing stops their growth.

What we see

In others

Every single day

Is the process

That uncovers

What creation would display

We are all in process

Finding out

These seeds are made of gold

A precious treasure

Growing far within

our deeply rooted souls
