New Life

Dark in the bosom of the earth
Cradled, protected, nourished
Hiding, safe, secure.
But alone, unfulfilled

A swelling of the heart
A leap of faith
A bursting and breaching
Of protecting walls.

Rushing toward light and life
Tender, fragile, exposed
Trusting, yielding. Hoping
That the offering will be cherished and honored.

New life
The springtime gift
To those with the courage to accept
.

This is lovely! I hope, along with the flowers, you'll start showing your face more with the spring :-) I hope to hear about your Trail Mainenance experiences!
