Un-Wilting.

Growth begins when you water it.

You fumbled in the darkness, a place where others lived in light.

You foraged days for warmth, embedding through the night.

-

You’ve searched for many years; now let that be enough.

With love, this wasn’t wasted time, it shaped strength and made you tough.

-

But strength is just an ally, it’s no purpose for your soul.

So stitch up your roots, un-wilt your leaves, this soil plays no role.

-

Dig up from the earth, walk the horizon and embark.

Yes, your seed was sown there but nothing blossoms in dark.
