Awakening
Dormant in the ground it lay Never realising what it could be Not yet seeing the light of day Not knowing of it's destiny The beauty of winter lay all around The sunlight caressing the snow Silence reigns, there exists no sound As the cold breeze begins to blow Within the bed, slumber escapes While everything around is in dreams The eyes open, a heart awakes A new life is born it seems Small hands reach out, eager for life The desire within at a burn Wanting to overcome pain and strife Wishing to smile, needing to learn The green bursts forth, kissing the sun With no one around to see While everyone sleeps, it wants to run To shout, to sing, to be free. |
