Renewal

Renewal

Faded jackolantern,

darkened eyes obscured;

blooming trees

branches swaying,

picking up the tempo

dancing 'n' jivin'

in merry celebration 

of Spring.

Look at us flounce our skirts

rolling our hips

licking our lips

ready to rollick,

enticing pregnant play.

Let the goodtimes roll

on down the verdant hillside

winter's sorrows

spilling out like seed

cleansed free

singing in the 

flowing rain

recombinant flowers and wildlife.

Stories hidden,

tangled and mired in 

tired decades of dust and gloom

swept into light by chance,

unobscured in the gently falling rain,

taken up, given honoured place

singing now in the ritual chorus.

Timeless chanting,

calling in the vibrant winds. 

Moving, re- and un- engaging,

ever changing, 

never wholly new.
