Actively Dormant

As a seed grows..!

The seed lay dormant
Beneath the moist soil
Being warmed by the sun
Slowly, lovingly, slowly.

Dormant to the world
Inside was a secret
Lots of activity abuzz
In that little seed of love

Millions of molecules
Running errands, busily
Like merry workers
In Charlie's chocolate factory

Eating, drinking, sleeping
As the seed rested below
While inside, these little
Workers helped it grow

Then one fine morning
I looked at the pot
And lo and behold!
A green stem, two leaves I spot!

Excited, elated, satisfaction dawns
A thought fires through my neurons
Undermine not a dormant seed
For dormant is only that you and I don't see!
