Renewal
Prismatic ribbons of sunlight
Ripple through pale green leaves
New growth on old trees
Softly, delicately dangling
Against crusty bark.
A breeze ruffles my curtains
As I willingly admit the fresh air.
Robins stake their claims
On lawns wet with shimmering dew
A squirrel lands on my roof
With an alarming thump!
And the pattering of little feet
As he scoots down the slope
Like it's a playground slide
Renewal surrounds me
And I feel the energy of life's endless cycle
Coming back around again
After a long white nap.
I, too, am renewing
Reevaluating my paths
Striving to attain an upward spiral.
Rather than sliding down
Into a whiteout of oblivion
And staying there
I choose to survive
And thrive
Stepping forward from dormancy
Into a green new world.
Free verse, 28 lines.
