Buried deep beneath the frost,
a silent, dark, and heavy space,
where every summer leaf was lost
and warmth has left without a trace.
It does not rage against the soil,
nor force its way into the air;
it waits through cold and patient toil,
in quiet rest, unhurried there.
For down below the winter ground,
where hidden, secret waters run,
a steady, unseen life is bound
to rise and reach toward the sun.
For strength is gathered in the dark,
before the green begins to show;
the seed must keep its quiet spark
to learn the secret way to grow.
