...I run into this poem while thinking about the title of my art, relating seeds. It’s comforting under cold, dark sky.🌱


poem by Emily Dickinson


When I count the seeds

That are sown beneath,

To bloom so, bye and bye -


When I con the people

Lain so low,

To be received as high -


When I believe the garden

Mortal shall not see -

Pick by faith its blossom

And avoid its Bee,

I can spare this summer, unreluctantly.
