Seven years ago

We planted a seed… it’s starting to grow.

seven years ago
we planted a seed
in the ground,
a flower we held
for just a while,
a seed
underground
in the dark
and cold,
seven winters.

i didn't know…
i am the soil.

a seed
underground
in the dark
and cold,
seven winters,
is starting to grow.

it's growing in me.
