Rejuvenation
Roots hold fast,
pull nourishment from
the awakening ground.
Limbs softly sway,
reach into the warmth
and glow of the wide open sky.
Inner world enlivens
as trunk aligns,
joints and cells settle
right where they need to be.
A breath, a stretch, a gaze above.
Traumatic tensions
from a long, cold winter
wisp away,
replaced by peaceful currents
of growth and hope.
Though winter held a beauty all its own
and much was gleaned
from its presence,
the time has come
for rejuvenation.
