SONG CYCLE - A sequence of songs, perhaps on a single theme, or with texts by one poet, or having continuos narrative

 

Germinate

 

You descended,

breath inspires earth –

rough surface void of growth.

throat parched

smell moist vapors

My desperate fingers claw the ground.

 

Interior roots vibrate

anchor as stalks struggle blind.

 

Your hands

guide the seed. Breakthrough –

sprout forth

sprout forth

whisper to the sky.
