The earthen tones
of brown, tan and beige
denotes…
the wholesome color
of Mother Nature's womb.
Swelling in anticipation
she sends the root laden sap
to the hungry limbs,
of the forest.
Heralding renewal
the promise of spring
that all barren trees
rejoice in,
as they exhale…
the long cold breath
of wintertime’s lament.
A pillar of strength
each trunk in the forest
through budding crowns
gaze at the steel gray sky
that carries…
The life giving rain
of springs promise.
