each tiny bloom
declaration and celebration
of spring’s return
Behold
Iris Wreath
a circle of life
dormancy
gives rise to rebirth
Born
into the light
joy is born
brighter for darkness’ depth
Assurance
with just
a little warmth
life springs forth
Faith Confirmed
the promise
always kept
spring’s return
Electric Blue
In color and bloom
spring sings the body electric,
glories in the glow of rebirth.
Return
The birch lies with lichen and leaves
only to rise again in the next season
as hope eternal, the spring ephemerals.
