Poems - Dormant

Dormant

by Huberjack

With harvest time now months ago
and fallen leaves long whisked away,
a grapevine seems to suffocate,
its barren limbs a sad display,
a remnant of its life before.

A passerby might mourn the loss,
remembering the green of spring.
For now concern would be misplaced
as dormancy will keep the sting
of winter from its living core.

If only humans had this lapse,
protection from these hardened times,
a dormant season sans the pain
of money, love or social crimes,
of life too tortured to ignore.

Alas, the vines know fully well
that warmth will soon awaken roots.
As slumber ends the green will find
recovered leaves and growing shoots,
a vineyard's luscious spring decor.

Nicely done! Do we know, as vines do, that this latent period will end? Or is that part of the pain? Is this a specific form? I LOVE it, and it goes nicely with the photo.

This rejuvenated my spirit. It reminds me of a summer job I had one year. Walking the vinyard's rows, the lenoir grapes just a few days from perfection. Well done!
