Beneath the surface, where light never reaches,

there is a quiet, steady growth.

The earth may seem cold,

heavy with shadows,

but within, something stirs.

Roots stretch deep,

searching for the nourishment

hidden beneath the weight of uncertainty,

finding strength in the unseen,

in the silence where growth is born.

The dark soil holds secrets—

not of decay,

but of potential,

of quiet resilience waiting to break through,

of life building, even when it is unseen.

Every twist, every turn beneath the surface,

is a step toward the light,

a journey that does not need to be fast

but simply true,

rooted in patience,

grounded in trust.

And in time, the earth will yield—

not with a sudden rush,

but with the quiet promise of things growing,

things becoming.

Roots of hope spread wide,

unnoticed at first,

but always there,

always ready to rise

when the moment is right.
