To renew again I retreat within
to hibernate I take time to regulate
postulate, formulate, speculate, take time to get it straight
Even the seasons change,
the Earth and climate rearrange
the terrain becomes strange
The shortest day becomes the longest night
like a black seed that is full with the spark of life
I become dormant and all activity seems to go underground
Deep inside the embryo of the Divine
atoms, neutrons and protons bounce off each other
building blocks that have yet to be discovered
Taking time out with Love that enriches
empowers, enlightens, and envelopes me
a black seed that produces more seeds
Not one clone just sparks of individuality
born, bred, and formed just like me
designed, created, and set into eternity
Isn't amazing that a seed must die so that the fruit can live
at the center of the seed the life force is hid
in the abundant life there is more power to give
With weary limbs and horizon stretched mind
my soul protects like a husk covered spark of the Divine
I rest and rejuvenate for a season of time
In this fertile state I hibernate, regulate
postulate, formulate and speculate
I grow as a strong tall Ebony tree in the garden
