it’s just a weed
you know it’s true
it’s just a weed
with blooms of blue
the first to rise
you know it’s true
feast for our eyes
a sign of spring
the first to rise
though winter clings
with one more frost
a sign of spring
seems all but lost
it will not die
with one more frost
it will survive
it’s just a weed
it will not die
it’s just a weed

(A Terzanelle Poem)
how fragile life is
a hiccup in time
how fragile life is
touched by the divine
miraculously
a hiccup in time
yet vast as the sea
a breath, a soft sigh
miraculously
though all things must die
to be born again
a breath, a soft sigh
beginning to end
interconnected
to be born again
sweetly perfected
how fragile life is
interconnected
how fragile life is

(A Terzanelle Poem)
she always blooms in autumn time
golden bursts of fading summer
she always blooms in autumn time
shorter days and frost become her
fragile petals clinging softly
golden bursts of fading summer
sparking memories held fondly
days of innocence and sweetness
fragile petals clinging softly
cycling seasons meant to teach us
letting go is not the ending
days of innocence and sweetness
‘midst the thorns she thrives ascending
though the winter looms in waiting
letting go is not the ending
rooted deep, her heart pulsating
though the winter looms in waiting
she always blooms in autumn time
she always blooms in autumn time

how she presses toward the light
though her feet are rooted deep
how she presses toward the light
past the edge while others sleep
walls cannot contain her here
though her feet are rooted deep
tossed by tempests, numb with fear
resisting every urge to hide
walls cannot contain her here
now she sees the other side
breaks free from the shuttered throng
resisting every urge to hide
proving the naysayers wrong
darkness thwarted in the end
breaks free from the shuttered throng
even roots must stretch and bend
how she presses toward the light
darkness thwarted in the end
how she presses toward the light

She lets you believe
you are in control
she lets you believe
deep down in your soul
your wishes she’ll embrace
you are in control
beguiled by her grace
blinded to her verve
your wishes she’ll embrace
selfish to preserve
she cannot be crossed
blinded to her verve
that when you have lost
you won’t even care
she cannot be crossed
no one can ensnare
a force such as she
you won’t even care
stunned by her beauty
she lets you believe
a force such as she
she lets you believe.
