Will Renewal Come

Will Renewal Come?

With the peel of dying cells,
heart breaking November cedes
its ruddy blush to serious ground.

Trees’ loosing to fertile fodder,
they say, will soon enough spill to
soft petals and green adornment.

Alive again come spring,
they’ll be pink in the cheeks
of May’s glorious bloom.

I wonder in November 
what if spring doesn’t come?

If we only new the future...then again maybe that would not be a good thing. Everybody has it coming they just don't see it. Wonderful poem. ~Kilmer

Dear Kathy, sometimes, in November, I wonder if I'll make it to Spring... or 'weather' I'll be sprung... Love, Terry (a beautiful poem, nevertheless...)
