Nature's Decay and Rebirth

Quote: "Flowers fade and decay through wintry hours- waiting for rebirth."
Quote by - Constance La France
***********
The blooms bowed with a brittle grace.
Its hues faded in frost embrace
They slumber underneath the freezing breath.
Bear for rebirth from death.
Trees remain still, and their roars hushed.
Golden crowns by the cold gusts crushed
But deeper within every serene limb.
Life stirs light of dusk, dim.
Earth, yet parched, stirs with a soft hum—.
A heartbeat in the icy drum.
Fingers of roots reach with the tender ache.
To sip, soar, greet dawn, wake
The sun comes back with gentle tread.
Shades are soft, bright, and vivid red.
Raw seeds stir from their literal slumber
Swish scent of smooth lumber.
Earth breathes softly in shades of green.
Songbirds weave a warmer sky scene
The green whispers arise—from ice and ash.
Meek glow, raw life rehash.
