Legacy

Via #Wednesday writing prompt and Thursday photo prompt

I’ll retrieve the seed of hope
from the bottom of the box
and plant it, cultivate peace,
let hope inform the loam,
conditioning the soil for good
to flourish and grow upright,
into buds of belief, woodlands
of aspiration, dreams fruiting
on every tree, bestowing beauty
for ashes, breathing life into embers
with incandescent inspiration.
