Spring’s vernal fragrance like anointing dew
Blue cloud free skies, a washed and anew
In golden morn’s kiss, the hibiscus grew
From sodden nightmares, it writhed fresh – anew
Like how young lovers’ hearts surge as they grew
through fences – the way hibiscuses do
Despite shoddy soil the hibiscus grew
Discarding old dreams; embracing the new
morning’s glisten, as it kisses the dew.
From the dew dampened night, the dawn arises anew; each winter
presents the promise of spring. The gift of Jah is Life.
