Winter's frozen mantle recedes from yonder cordillera flanks
As wildflower bud presses its urgent release, not yet fulfilled,
Life-in-lull, dreaming through dim-lit days, wrestle with soaked cloak
For light and life, humus purified, fertile for expectant emergence.

Eager rise precedes hungry stem, stretching abundant after sleep,
Fertile vessels feed the seep that plies stemmed arteries
Giving birth to rapid rigor, a rigid post to launch new bud to view
That unfurling heaven-scent, its spent reserves to flourish anew.

Eyes bereft too long, this nature's pantry pageantry, not long to wait
Expectant urge to view, as cloaking blankets pushed aside to bare
Wild bulb no longer held vassalage to dormant neglect, bound.
It's liberated exuberance to press its flow upward, upright, untied.

A root prepared, as some divining rod instinct to dive, takes hold
Deep to penetrate in wetted warm, this crevice-well, where bold
The root might swell, and drawing sturdy stance, dive yet again
Deeper still, to find advance and feed the bud to birth this new divine.
