Spring

 
There is green
in the thoughts of the ones
I love
and sunlight pours
like water from their hearts
blue sky eyes
and breath like Zephyr’s breeze
plays light upon their lips
bent towards Son and sun
in sanctifying smile
 
and everything
                      is moving
                      is singing
                      is reaching
in this time of thunder
 
while the deafening chorus
that is new life
bursts from bird and the broken
alike
 
see the winter-withered hearts
thought dead and done
crack life again
pushed new from under frosty flesh
join every Crocus, Iris, Tulip
 
this is the unshadowed time
 
this is the time of battles won
this time of new things done
this is life in bloom begun
this is death now dead, undone
 
what is this thing
turns frozen voice to sing
moves my soul an offering to bring
why none other then great God’s gift of
 
Spring,
          Spring,
                    Spring
