Late April Greening--Cinquain Sequence


Spring is
time to renew
old vows made in quiet,
allow rush of greening to swell
freely,

upward,
groaning, silent
as crocus blades thrusting
into unknown tomorrows-Life,
Changes.

To life
and it's endless
changes I want to say:
you're as welcome as the flowers
of May

as my
grandma oft said.
I want that ease, trusting
presence, desired as desperate
as breath

and love; 
as destructive 
when lost. Thankfully and
despite me, spring's greening arrives
immutable as morn.
