TW: Obscurish Christian Theme

——✝️——

Wherever there is light,

flowers will find it.

In burning winds

the seed doth sprout

its life begins

its limbs burst out

and sapling roams

to here and there

in search of home

in sunless cavern vine-folk

find not hope

but roots fondle

the shadow’s hold

and wither and wilt

they doth by their guilt

and bloom they in gloom

the leaves of bitter

tho’ Day calls them hither

their ears hear ‘fear winter’

then Branches love-hands

reach, breach — breaking the dark

grasping, clasping deathly flow’r

not heeding — protesting, detesting

infestly petal’s foul bark

but into the light doth He drag

twisting thorn-child abreast

and seep they doth from earth’s trap

into morning dew, Son, light and rest

through solent shine sings they

hymns blessed be, in love flow’r sway

“I sought but not found light,

but light made a way!”
