Sandra Haight Poet Etheree

Notes About The Poem

Cycles

Cycles


Our
flowers
bloom, begin
their earthly time
in life; with sun and 
rain, daily they contend.
And day by day, their petals 
open wide; earth stages create 
fullness in the end.  They then enjoy
new life awakened with rebirth of Spring.

Our living earth does promise us new life,
after sleep of winter gathers strength.
Flowers are governed by their roots,
to wake as spring sets them free.
All life holds death but sends 
life renewed once more,
while life and death,
earth's tireless
twosome,
sings.

Vladislav Raven July 24, 2016 at 9:02 PM Hi Sandra, another elegant and excellent write from your pen. Nature in its beauty and wonder does spring within the poetic mind and beauty is born into words. You make this etheree sing so gently as you do with all your writes Sandra. The cycles of nature come forth before our eyes, such wonderful visions. This Double Etheree is special. This is a seven and a Fave. Hugs....Mike.
