The Alchemy of Seasons

A seed sleeps,

curled like a secret

beneath the patient soil.


Rain kneels down,

pressing soft hands into earth,

whispering, wake, grow, become.


The stem rises,

a fragile green prayer

breaking through stone.


Storms come,

bending it near to breaking,

yet the wind teaches strength

better than stillness ever could.


Petals unfold—

not all at once,

but in slow, trembling breaths,

as though the flower must learn

to trust its own color.


And when autumn arrives,

it does not mourn.

It scatters its gold freely,

a final act of generosity

before returning to silence.


So it is with us—

we weather, we bloom,

we let go.

Transformation is not a moment,

but the endless turning

of being into becoming.
