Spring's Unending Cycles
Awake, waiting to bloom
in the warm, balmy sunshine,
and eager to begin their cycle,
stems lift their precious cargo
towards the life-giving light.
Slowly, velvety petals,
of all shapes, sizes, colors,
unfold, like open hands
reaching up and out to bask
in the radiance of the Sun.
All the waiting, now fulfilled
with matured, lush growth;
roots drawing in sustenance
hydrated with quenching rain
and sparkling morning dew-
living miracles that eventually
will wither, dry up, and fall.
Yet, left behind, buried in roots,
the unending cycle of life
that awakens every Spring-
by nature's miraculous algorithm.
