Time to blossom


I find myself envying the lush exuberance 
With which my apple tree is welcoming 
The transition from winter into spring. 
Instead of preparing me to burst into bloom, 
The long, long months of gray and isolation 
Have conditioned me want more of the same: 
I’m not quite sure I’m ready — 
Or if I ever will be — to blossom again.
