Rise

Sunday, May 9, 2021

Winter unravels,
revealing bare branches and dried grass.
Birds take their cue to bring sweet warmth through song.
The sun decorates stiff air into a tender breeze.
Beetles dance, using tiny feet to tend to the earth.
Awakening spreads, alerting nature to rise.


Featured in the Color:Story 2021 exhibit. My poetry was displayed alongside work by artist, Jeanne Jones who drew inspiration from my work to create her art pieces.
