Echoes of the Depths
The earth, once scarred by shadow’s hand,
Now trembles soft, a waking land.
From soil soaked with roots that bled,
New shoots arise where death had fed.
The storm has passed, its howling stilled,
The air now warm, the silence filled.
With whispers light, the seeds take hold,
Their leaves like sparks of green and gold.
The soil hums with tender grace,
A pulse of life begins its race.
No longer bound by gloom’s demand,
It rises tall, a fearless stand.
Though remnants of the past remain,
They sing of hope, not loss or pain.
The cycle turns, as it must do—
To bury old, and birth the new.
This was a continuation of a work I did in October that I felt needed second part. I was really happy with the fourth stanza and I’m still not sure I landed as gracefully as I wanted to with the last line. I’ve been trying to work on letting go more in life and enjoying the fruits that may come, this poem is my attempt at living with the imperfections in my works.
I hope you enjoy and thank you for taking time from your day to read it.
