May welcomes new life
Bare branches stretch with the spring
Awake for regrowth...

As we clear cut out Forest 
and lay waste to the trees 
we unleash our demise 
like a revenging disease 
so be ye good stewards 
to the dark green domains
or it's regrowth will Feast 
on your rotting remains....

A stem
Losing its grip
Barely holding to the bark on the branch
Weakend slowly
From the weight of the leaf 
Too heavy to face the wind
Drooping down
Falling now
The natural cycle
Of letting go
With each season
Regrowth...

When all begin their meditation
In the cold and chill of night
No one knows better than Nature
The regrowth of strength and might
Even the frigid Fall winds
Render their breath to sprite...

Fast flowing rivers in spring
Diverting, shooting around rocks
Eroding banks along the shore line
Water moves, furious and icy cold
Rushing along at a hurried pace
Budding trees, cling to surrounding banks
Once barren, new life has sprung
New sprinkling of color among shades of green
Regrowth, regeneration, a new season arrives.

The trees in the cold winter
Bared, but stood  tall and upright
Alone, while whistled in no height
Waited for regrowth day  and night 

By their  growing time baited
They were  not dead as fact  
From the intrinsic nature hide 
They whistled for forceful thunder

Welcome  the sunshine and the rainwater
Delighting the leaves  like twittering birds 
As well akin to the chasing toddlers...

A  is for the apple trees of Johnny Appleseed, 
    planting economic freedom 
    from sea to shining sea.
M is for mother, Madam Liberty,
    honors regrowth, the melting pot of the free.
E  is for emergence, of new thoughts, new lives, new mysteries.
R  is for the richness of cultural diversity.
I   is for a fresh idealism not false idolatry.
A   is for admiration of America¢s bold beauty.

And all that spelled America 
from sea to shining sea....

once upon a time 
there was us
laughing
loving
growing

then the seasons changed
and the years progressed
along with them, so did we
too

nowadays
this is us
ignoring
tolerating
forgetting

one day we kill the elephants
and we break the chains of
fear and say 'screw it, let's 
communicate!'

after the steam,
and there was a 
good amount of it,
rebirth
regrowth
Love Returns

we did the work
God Did The Rest
Resulting Continuity Triumphs........

Flowering nature defines regrowth
within cycles of perpetuating life
Rotational seasons universally 
acclaimed, fruitful, abundant, then
withering to autumnal variegated scents
and scenic hues of vibrant golds, copper 
and plum feted reds decrying diminishing 
twilight hour before extinguishing 
concealed beneath the inclement 
winter’s blanket of snow


Vibrational throb
instrumentally wakens
snowdrop’s snowy head
