SPROUT
I am in search of my life.
Not the one I was dealt,
but the one I want to have.
Not the one
repeatedly stomped in the ground
popping up
where I least expect it,
But the one where
I wake up each morning excited to be on the path
blooming with
maybe nothing I expected
but everything I wished for.
I have been tending to the hard work.
I have unearthed and tilled
and reseeded the dead areas.
I am beginning to see sprouts.
Little glowing green life
pushing against gravity, weight of earth
to find light.
They are in search of their life.
They know more than I
how to shed the confines
of the seed,
thank it for its lesson,
and grow.
--SUE LUDWIG

The juxtaposition of the above paragraph to the opening one -- is compelling and inspires hope.
