Unfading

by Teresa Burleson

 (I Peter 1:23-25)

What is hidden
Must come to Light.
The Force buried
Within the seed.
Knows just when.
Pushing past anything
In its way,
The green shoot breaks through
And greets the sky.
Putting forth root,
And stem and leaf,
The plant thrives,
Then withers and dies.
Only one Seed never dies
And He is in me.
He is the Seed
Imperishable.
I shall fear no drought.
