Springing Hope

I regarded a tree
in the yet cool days of early spring:
arms blown bare from the winds of winter's cold heart,
brow bent low,
bark peeled back from the ravage of dearth.
Yet, in its lean could be sensed the gently weak pulse in fingers,
up and up and up toward light and coming life.
The cycle of darkness wheeled into a cycle of life.

And the tree regarded me,
frayed from my winter's assault
and we leaned together into another spring.
