then sprouts a tiny root, then grows a massive tree
Moving poem that speaks to me of forgiveness and spiritual growth in God; leaving old dead things behind, overcoming and allowing the seed of faith to grow into a massive tree is wonderful imagery. Blessed by it!
traversing—
i left a past of bones
the marrow came
at the waves of skeptics
shaking, harmonizing
the doubts slowly fade
then sprouts a tiny root
then grows a massive tree
faith i’ve found
hurt i’ve pardoned
history marked
a pang and past
shaking, harmonizing
the conquest is known
then sprouts a tiny root
then grows a massive tree
