winter potatoes

They're lying out of sight,
Deep beneath the surface,
Deep in the frozen earth,

waiting.

They can wait.
It might be years,
It might be decades

hidden,

But they're there,
Waiting for the light,
Waiting to be found.

unknown

Until that moment
When they're seen,
When they're recognised,

discovered;

They've always been there.
This moment has come.
This moment has always been

here.
