You showed up when you said you would
Green as a measure of new breath
Snaking vein of invisible ink
Promise of spring when the light grew
And I grew too, becoming again
A slip, a shot, a scion
You arrived as a faun from the bramble
Promise of spring in a new light
Shot spring
Shot spring
Slipping in on the floor of the valley
Slow advance to the vernal
Blooming hands in rushes of fire
From a dream to a new call
Lines collapsing and expanding
We were in sharper relief
A shot in the dark, as a faun from the bramble
Promise of spring, coming back to life
Shot spring
Shot spring
Promise of spring
Promise of spring
Promise of spring
Promise of spring
