Nocturnal Growth

Nocturnal Growth

In darker times, the eyes see
From friction, fire is born
Vermilion heat disseminates
And illuminates a path
Fresh, and starkly perceived
Sickly hands gather seeds
Here, where humility is my loam
Roots penetrate, and then
A bud, a blossom—a bloom
The trail is warmer, and bursting
With life, lush flora and fauna
Expanding without the day
Stunning in starlight, as fog ascends
I rest my sleepy eyes in wait
Till I can behold this beauty
Bearing—flourishing
under the sun of tomorrow
