Corinthians 13 Garden

Hope is the seedling

pushing past the darkness

to break through soil's surface

gasping for fresh air.

Faith is the leaflets

unfolding like dancers,

graceful ballerinas,  

arms stretching for sky.

Love is rain and sun

both in perfect measure

timed by the Gardener

to coax seedling into bloom.

And the greatest of these is love. . .

Day 12, Poem 12:

To be honest, I didn't really care for the NaPoWriMo's poetry prompt for today, so I went my own way. It isn't a perfect piece yet and I know it. But, I will revisit it in the near future and see what develops then. For tonight, this simple beginning will have to do. Inspired by one of my favorite chapters of the Bible, 1 Corinthians 13.

You are the Master Gardener, Lord. I am the seed. May I bloom beneath your tender care into the woman we both want me to be. ~ Amen
