The green is
always a
surprise
Tender leaves
coming from
dry nothing
I understand now
how my mother
does it, and why:
Seems like
all it takes
is a little water
and attention
If nothing comes,
nothing comes–
something was
just not right
but when nothing
is expected and
then suddenly
there are leaves
it’s magic
it’s birth
it’s proof that hope
is never wasted.
