Candlemas Courage
You are a seed,
dreaming and dormant,
held safe in earth’s body.
Resting in your shell,
you can be patient,
and trust your becoming.
Your edges
begin to soften.
Something stirs,
cracks.
A root inches out from you
into fertile dark.
You feel your way
into the unknown;
even while there is a sense
of what you’re meant to be,
how you will grow
into the light.
For now though, only
underground night,
breathless exploration,
beautiful black
mystery —
and courage!
