Spring Stampede

Spring Stampede

Resurgent foliage
Populates the fruitful bough
Overcrowding trees harboring
Rich growth, expanding free
Rising tide of the ocean spring
In luminous astral green

Immortal Evergreen

Immortal Evergreen

He was such a tiny sapling
Tinged with youth
Inexperienced
Vulnerable
Exposed to the elements

But like his predecessors
His roots prevailed
Seizing the earth
Beneath deepening
His post fixed
Into immortal evergreen
Perennial paradise
