Patiently awaiting rebirth



As the camellia drops her petals,
My azalea bravely surges forth,
Her first blooms in three years.
I thought she’d died in last year’s frost,
But instead it seems that brought her 
back to life: a minor miracle 
to remind us that the hard stuff — 
the prunings and the frosts — 
Can serve to free us and to bring 
New efflorescence and vivacity to life:
Together we are patiently awaiting rebirth.
