Prune to Bloom
Allow the dry and dead to fall away so growth can take its place and space;
If it lingers, prune it so flowers can bloom, the fruit of new beginnings;
Prune to bloom.
New fruit.
Candid in May
May Flower by Emily Dickinson
Pink, small, and punctual,
Aromatic, low,
Covert in April,
Candid in May,
Dear to the moss,
Known by the knoll,
Next to the robin
In every human soul.
Bold little beauty,
Bedecked with thee,
Nature forswears
Antiquity.
