Cyclical Spring

Spring’s happy contrast to time’s fate
Serves as renewal, as to wake from a sleep
After trauma in a savior’s retreat offers
Temporary exultation and resolve

Recurrent warming of earth under sun’s
Limbering heat reminds not disposition
But our senses that we are present
Again revitalizing our bodily function

To each seasonal rebirth belongs
Advent: new life, more time . . . blooms
According to context and care, thus
Nature and nurture hold sway
