the design
of dormancy
is renewal of energy
Rest
Hoisted By Branch and Twig
each leaf
an unfurled flag
of optimism and renewal
Behold
each tiny bloom
declaration and celebration
of spring’s return
Renewal
autumn’s intensity
of color and light
renews my spirit
Rendezvous
every year they meet
at the base of the tree
their love renewed each spring
Born
into the light
joy is born
brighter for darkness’ depth
Winter’s Recompense
web of life
pulse of spring
renewal’s divining
After The Storm
everything clean
fresh snow
renews hope
Renewal
dappled light
the blossom’s scent
innocence returned
Faith Confirmed
the promise
always kept
spring’s return
Unfolding
news beauty unfolds
as time and growth
reveals and renews
Easter Sky
a moveable feast
this transient sky
and light of living hope
Forest Fashion
the old stump boasts
a green velvet cloak
April Morn
her snow blanket removed
the naked earth awakens
renewed, refreshed and ripe
Sunshine and Blue
immortal spring
emerges
from winter’s vestige
Home
Gentle green mountains
and voluptuous clouds
replenish my spirit.
Estre
They rise
bringing
hope and renewal.
Leaves Surrender
the first surrender is to color
the second is to be untethered by the wind
and the final surrender is to perish in form and replenish the earth
Renewal
Adorned with angel wings
the color of the sky and ringed with time
the stump slowly returns to its beginning
by nurturing its mother – earth.
Succulent Rose
Perfection appears
in a tangle of winter’s residue.
Budding Out
In a burst of energy, renewal and hope colors are released
as trees transform the landscape from winter to spring.
