halls of death

Spouting seed comes to life
within the ruined hall of death,
the falling rocks and bits of gravel
heaped together within its boundary.

The seed steadily grows
within these halls of death,
but can shed a whole new life
to a place that was void of life.

possible they say that a sign is seen
a sign to which it shows that even
in the darkest places that you find
a miracle of life can be bestowed
on a lifeless hall of death

for two weeks have passed
it has fully grown to a impressive sight
the cracks have shown and the light has won
in its might you can see the flowering effect
that has on show within the halls
perfume of its flower lingers on

but so enclosed it is, it shall live
forgotten rooted in the loose rocks
while the jaws of death remain
for the time dormant, but ready to strike
when the time is right.
