Even in the midst of all this
Life goes on
Hearts beat
Seeds are planted and buds are starting to show
Flowers bloom
Bringing desperately needed color into the world
Babies are born
Eggs hatch
Tadpoles emerge from murky waters
So too will we emerge
Born anew
Into a new way of life
Breathe deeply
The crisp air of spring
And live

Cynthia,
Your poem reminds me of the legend of the Phoenix in Greek mythology, who lived for 500 years and flew too close to the sun and burned up and died. He arose from the ashes and was reborn stronger than the first. It is a story of life, death, and resurgence, pairing nature where change is constant, like the ebb and flow of the waves in the sea and the circle of life of flora and fauna flourishing in the wilderness.
