Golden beams fall on a world come to life
Casting radiance upon the newly born green
The earth alight with fiery brilliance
In the light of a just awaking sun
Purple hues spatter the edges of the forest
Mixing with whites and pinks and yellows
Dormant plants come back to life
And with them, so do I
The darkness that trapped me deep within
Has begun to release the claws that trapped me
Like the earth around me, my soul relights
Reborn in the joyous birth of spring
Together we grow; I find solace in their magnificence
With each budding leaf, with each new flower
I feel myself begin to bloom, alive with the energy
Now emerging from the dark slumber of winter
How poetic that we journey together
Myself and the earth laying dormant in the darkness
Coming life in the warmth and light of spring
Rejoicing in the release from that which kept us down
As I travel through the blooming woods
Filled with life and birth and renewal
I reflect upon myself and where I have been
Finally escaping the cold, dead claws of depression
Golden beams fall on a world come to life
And just as the radiant sun does
I rise
