Vivication

Snow lies upon frozen ground while dense fog gathers all into its ethereal grasp
and all seems lost within the gloom.

Yet, just beneath the surface, nestled within the fragrant soil, a tiny seed stretches forth,
hair like tendrils grasp and take hold

Above, grey clouds disperse and the suns warming rays burn through the fog and melt the dingy remnants of snow

Cool water seeps and sifts through the soil and drenches the tiny seed in nutrients

the hard outer shell breaks free of the seed and new life springs forth
