Hope Springs Eternal

Of the pain of cutting
I cannot tell
Scattered blossom where the branch fell
So full of life, then suddenly it seemed
Buried in the earth
No longer seen

I cannot touch you now.
My hand feels the cold stone 
A reminder, of long ago
Of someone I once knew

But I see you
Soaring into the blue
Above the clouds
With every springtime hue
You live again.
