This Green Comes But Once
This green comes but once a year
Newness incarnate green
It sneaks upon the bleak landscape
Bringing life to winter barren branches
Light to the shadows of age old trunks
Backlit by morning sun glow
Reminding the world that all can be reborn

Breathing in this green along with you!
The beginning of each line feels like a declaration.
Nice.
This poem unfolds beautifully. I particularly love these lines:
“Newness incarnate green
It sneaks upon the bleak landscape”
Love “this green comes but once a year” and all its implications. Each line is its own story with beautiful images.
The title is wonderful – it is a different green and one to look forward to.
