Sample Script

As the sun rises
Over the eastern horizon,
It brings with it

Light,
To brighten the dark places;

Warmth,
To chase away the chill of the night.

The light extends
To all that is above ground,
The warmth, however, is not restricted
To that which can be seen—
But carries down deep
Below the earth’s surface,
Into the very womb of nature
From whence comes new life.

A stirring,
As seeds long dormant
Through the sleep of winter
Stir, stretch, and give birth.

Then slowly, silently,
The tender yet resilient shoots
Project and impel their way
Upward,
Through the soil which once held them captive.

Their motivation
Coming from the warmth of the sun,
Radiated downward through the folds of soil.

Warmth,
Providing the required reason
For the growth
Which is happening beyond the limits
Of “above ground” understanding.

The pale shoots journey
Through layers of different hosts:
First the accommodating clay
Which hastens the voyager
On her way to the sunny garden.
