Like the cycle of seasons, a friendship over time can be broken and renewed. I wrote this in appreciation of that process..
Thanks for reading :-)
Bloom Again
Sunlight warms the dirt,
flower buds stir,
frost melts away
a hidden city unearths.
Rivers hum below,
plants pierce and grow,
stability takes root,
into our souls.
The sun’s quiet eyes,
petals trembling,
innocent and wise.
Branches once entwined
fractured over time,
leaves scattered and broken
paths we no longer open
Shadows linger,
laughter once echoed,
hollow spaces, broken petals.
Separate seeds are watered,
roots twisting underneath,
separate lives are grown
Something feels at peace
Storms usher change
winds destroy the pain
rains wash away,
and the sun renews again
This is bigger than you,
bigger than me
we are the same Infinitely
A spring bloom, a winter rain,
streams of cool water
running through our veins.
We are not so different
we are the same
We bloom, we wilt, we bloom again.
