A Sonnet: The Book Of Becoming Poem by Annalee Somerville

A Sonnet: The Book Of Becoming

Where sky surrenders to the hush of gold,
The Earth exhales in rows of quiet prayer.
No need to chase what time no longer holds,
The soul finds stillness in the open air.

Each straw bale a hymn, wrapped gently by the light,
Each furrow scribed with lines the Spirit read,
Soft echoes of a harvest brought to sight,
And dreams once sown now resting, fully fed.

The tree stands watch, a sentinel of grace,
Its roots in wisdom, branches bowed to sky.
This sacred pause...
a consecrated space
Where breath returns and burdens learn to fly.

You've done enough, says the wind across the lea.
Now rest. Now trust. Now simply let be.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This poem emerged from a quiet moment in the countryside, where hay bales lined the earth like punctuation marks in a sacred text. The Book of Becoming is an ode to rest, renewal, and the invisible rhythm between labor and grace. Inspired by the simple beauty of a harvested field under a calm sky, it reflects on what it means to surrender, and to hear the divine whisper beneath life's surface: You've done enough. It's a meditation on presence, crafted in quiet awe.
