like a seed in the ground – v4

each growing, hidden

a life emerging

already formed, complete

like a seed in the ground

a kernel hidden

waiting to burst forth

to expand, to grow

a new life, complete

gathered in its season

a harvest, a jewel

a bit of wheat, a harvest

joy, awakening

coming to the surface

rising on the breeze

held in a loving hand

a wonder to be seen
