Nocturnal Bloom
May the Roots Go Deeper Still
It is sunrays that
Determine the ways
A tree’s roots and limbs will grow
Tall, strong and sturdy enough
To withstand the winds and snow
I once thought that all life
Came from the sun’s light
That none grow without
That night bred death
And would snuff my spirit out
But here in the darkness,
Another truth harkens
As I feel your arms around me
Your roots of warmth extending deep within
Reaching my heart and blooming sweetly
Here in the dark, another light glows
Again my spirit begins to grow
Blossoming into a better being
Brighter, braver, no longer alone
The sun pales in this light that’s gleaming
