Sprout - Up & Out

Sprout - Up & Out 

From the place and space,

Of calm, of rest,

A single breath:

From this empty womb,

Is where we begin to make room:

For something unknown.

It shall arrive soon.

Bloom.

You have survived the monsoon.

Here we sow a seed,

Slowly, gently, and kindly,

We uproot the weeds.

We tend to our inner garden,

Without permission, nor pardon.

Water, love, and soil;

To nourish for what inevitably shall flourish.

Here we grow,

Even though;

What is to come we do not know,

Has not yet begun.

There is a sun.

Let the world pass on by,

Self soothe with a coo, a lullaby,

And let out that long held in sigh.

In just the right time,

You will face the world with your head held high.

For now, rest, just be, even when we cannot see.

Bide your time,

All is fine.

There is no race, no need to make haste, your healing is always at your own pace.

No need to rush,

You have done more than enough.

It say to you little one,

It is okay,

with a loving hush.

The roar has passed,

The future ahead is expansive and vast.

You shall soar.

You have always known how to survive.

This is now your time to thrive.

Arrived.

Through the dark,

The seed is nowhere to be seen.

A beam.

Through the cracks a sprout

Is up and out;

Facing towards the sun,

It's new life begun.
