Fronded

Have you seen a fern in spring?
Involuted like a snail shell,
Beginning to unwind.

The frond unfurls,
The tiny green button uncurls.
Ah! a large leaf.

Have you seen a person in pain?
Involuted like an unborn babe,
Curled and constricted,

Vital organs protected.
There comes a day, though, where
The fetal position relaxes, and

Slowly the person reveals
What has always been there,
Just waiting for spring.
