PROMISE
by: Jennifer Oppelt
The promise of spring
Growing into the new thing
The new phase
The next cycle
Nature doesn't judge the decay
Nature knows the value
of what drops
to the ground
In death there is an offering of life
Composted leaves nourish the next blossom
The blossom drops off to make way to the next fruit
The fruit drops off to allow for the next seed
We begin again, and again
An effortless cycle of death and rebirth
Nature knows where it's at
