“Spring wakes us, nutures us, and revitalizes us. How often does your spring come? If you are prisoner of the calendar, it comes but once a year. If you are creating authentic power, it comes frequently, or very frequently." Gary Zukav
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dawn breaks.
In the depths of winter’s despair,
a tiny bud emerges, unaware.
With each passing day, it grows,
a symbol of hope, a renewal that shows.
At the bottom of my own despair
I find solace in the whispers of springtime air.
With each breath, I let go of the pain,
renewal washing over me like gentle spring rain.
Like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon,
I shed my old self and embrace the new;
Renewal is my guiding light,
a chance to take flight.
Like a flower blooming in the spring,
I embrace renewal, a new beginning.
With each petal, a layer is shed
a chance to grow, to let my wings spread.
Like a phoenix rising from the ashes,
I emerge stronger, shedding past clashes.
Renewal is my armor, my shield,
a chance to heal, a chance to yield.
Like a river flowing to the sea,
I let go of what no longer serves me.
Renewal is my constant companion,
a chance to find peace, a chance to abandon.
In the depths of my soul’s unrest,
I find renewal in nature’s behest.
With each springtime, a new beginning,
a chance to let go, a chance to keep winning.
As the sun sets on yesterday’s sorrow,
a new dawn breaks, promising tomorrows.
With each breath, I let go of the past,
Embracing the present, renewing at last.
