Breaking Through

It needs strength to break new ground
when it’s as hard and solid as
silence.
Or so I thought.

It needs strength to break through,
to break the mould and
reform.
Or so I thought.

But just suppose,
the ground gives up it’s power
and allows the colour
to break through, bright
so the delicate flowers can form,
can bloom, can flourish fragile.
Will they then open up
through the self shattered soil,
and melt the frozen silence
to make a space,
an opening
for a warmth,
that will shatter
even ice.

I think so.
