Like the hibiscus
waiting
anticipating
Spring and
dead dry leaves
replaced with
new tender shoots to
become shade trees
in a new Summer
she waits
for a new year
in hopes that ill
health will be
replenished
in those she loves
that their spirits
will flourish
no longer held captive
but set free
to ride the currents
of mountain breezes
the eagle calls
it’s home
she waits
like the hibiscus

Scent of pine hanging                                      
fragrant in the air a
reminder in finding
gifts of the heart a
love to encompass all
who cross our paths
with spirits yearning
a New Year to start
