Hope Of Renewal

Sonnet, Growing old, Death, New life after death

As the last rose petal falls swiftly  down

The last of the great roses of summer

What a great summer that was lived_you known

Rose had much character an affirmer

 

Fall approaches with sure desolation

Only bare branches with prickly thorns left

Mocking Bird nest with nesting cessation

Protected by the Rose as in a cleft

 

Used up_bare waiting for winter's cold breath

Not knowing what this winter chill will bring

As the petals flood onto the ground_death

Hope awaits but winter comes with its sting

 

Will the sap rise again coursing through vine

Revitalization_one bud sure sign

I'm looking for poem's of hope and inspiration... need a bit today,.. and your words were filled with true imagery.. There is pain.. and loss.. winter does come and overshadow life.. Yet, there is that great hope of spring and moving on.. "One bud sure sign.." Beautiful.
