although cold and dark persist
the woods embark on greening
in moss, lichen, the needles of young pine
The Woods Endeavor
Go Slow
on the dirt road
through the greening valley
witness hope unfurling before you
Promise
on the broken branch
in the ice
verdant thriving
Unseen Work
beneath the snow
revealed by the sun
spring has already begun
Perspicacity
beneath the veil
spring is greening
the world
