She showed for the first time today
Pregnant bump of springtime
Trees whispering excitedly to one another
Feeling the tiny movement of Life in their bodies
Sap warming in cellular increments
Felt by each tree
And the forest collectively
Buds engorged with promise
Not quite ready
But soon
Sunshine, too, stays longer these days
Encouraging
Subdued still
But He can’t be kept away
Though clouds may try
For he also feels the trembling
Anticipation building, trepidation
Awaiting the abundance to come
His responsibility
To nourish and give hope
Is not lost on the trees
As they do their work
Looking back with wonder
At his generosity
Consistent luminosity
As gestation completes
In these declining weeks
Humanity will also pause
Smile at birthing blossoms
Pure innocence
Celebrating new life
Brought forth
By Processes and Beings
Far truer to their
Nature
Inspiration is then born
To mankind
A twin to the trees
And must be
Nurtured
To bring the sweetest fruit
