I've planted the bulbs,
deep in the earth for next spring.
I could feel Springs hope,
though winter is surely near.
So His Hope lies in our hearts.

Ellie,
The life that lies dormant in a bulb is very much alive and awaits to burst forth from the soil in the appointed time. The hope planted in our hearts also brings forth fruit in it's own season. Good analogy in this thoughtful tanka.

a refreshing reminder that although we cannot see his gifts, hope will reign and love will spring forth from all efforts...
