Layers of accumulated
silence have built up
over the years,
producing a rich compost.
Combining earth's elements
into fertile ground
for seeds of creativity
to germinate.
Roots extending toward
life-giving moisture
searching the soil
for nourishing ideas.
New stems emerge,
breaking the surface,
seeking the warm light
of inspiration.
Surging with life,
opening its leaves,
gathering into verses,
flowering into poetry.
The land provides.
The heart responds.
The soul is gratified.
The Creator is glorified.
