Sprout

When I was a seed placed in the ground
I had no idea my roots would grow down
Down deep in the Earth
To mingle with soil and stones and worms
Have no fear, there's no doubt
Though I am small
I soon shall sprout
Soon I sprang up towards the light
I could not yet see but felt inside
Calling me on, making me stronger
Stretching and reaching as I grew taller
Have no fear, there's no doubt
Though I am small
I soon shall sprout
When I broke through I couldn't believe
The dazzling blue over everything
The golden sun smiling down
On brothers and sisters all around
Family and friends I'd know underground
Nodding their leaves to the sweetest sound
The Earth is yawning after her nap
And smiles on her children growing in her lap
Have no fear, there's no doubt
Though I was small
I knew I'd sprout
We are growing
Slow and steady
To greet the sun when we are ready
So have no fear, calm your doubts
Though we are small
One day we'll sprout

Blessings

The gentlest breeze rouses trees from dream
They stretch out their branches and shake off their sleep
They jangle their leaves in the sun’s morning heat
An applause for the dawn that’s finally come
As the world lights up, birds sing out their praise
Give thanks to Creation, for one more day
As I listen from bed, there’s a smile on my face
What a blessing to be here this morning
I’m ready to receive the gifts of the day
No more hiding my soul’s light away
As I step on the Earth, she steps in to me
I feel the dirt on my toes and dew on my feet
I’ll stand tall as the Grandmother Tree
Oh, we’ll keep on growing
As wide as the sky and deep as the sea
There’s something inside me that wants to be free
If I just listen, if I just breathe
Anything can happen if I believe
I’m ready to open up my head
And let the love flow free from my chest
I’ve been used to the darkness for so long, my friend
In a dance with shadows, I thought would never end
I tasted her perfume, she kissed up my sweat
In a life half asleep, in a life of regret
Now I’m ready to let those old stories go
It’s high time to step into something more
I’m ready to receive the gifts of the day
No more hiding my soul’s light away
What I’ve been waiting for has been waiting for me
