A Greening Time

I think it is time for a prose poem post. I wrote the following when my sisters and I gathered for a reunion in Pennsylvania. I love remembering that time together.

A Greening Time
Everything around our sister’s home 
Is green
The grass
The garden 
The towering trees
It is the greening time of year
And the green lifts us up
And fille us with life
We breathe in
Abundant beauty 
And here in its midst 
Three sisters bask in love
That has deepened with time
Our brother is gone
But lives in our hearts.
We survive, we thrive
In the strength passed on
From generations before
Who gave us wings
And planted our feet firmly
On the good earth.
Now next generations 
Surround us
Give us courage
And fill us with hope.
We are showered by grace 
And in gratitude
We offer unending thanks 
For this greening time 
When peace prevails 
That overflows and is enough   
To last through all seasons.           PBK
