Leaves longing on settled limbs, tongues of green
savoring sweetened rays of saffron Sun,
claim this crowning hall a new day to be.
Mother's morning prayers hath long begun,
first, love for family and friends, naught than,
later, herself. Hail, day of correction,
Father and Holy Spirit, --the Triune,
this Easter Day of Christ's resurrection.
Bless this glorious Sun's uplifting deal,
an envious sky look onwards with glee,
for an agreed Spring occasions appeal,
seems cool tempts rising, refreshing, can be.
Petalled hues growing softly, rains--tricky.
Taming, like Mount St. Helen's--revision?
Nay, pieces of a puzzle ... a beauty,
this Easter Day of Christ's resurrection.
Nutritious roots scoring blindly, beneath,
undergrowth always engaged, confirms life,
forests, fields, valleys, mountains, earth--bequeath.
Wildlife, pro-life, low-life, my life, --all life.
Spring truly the Best of Four Seasons ... rife,
Americans, Tax ... time ... few ... evasion?
Majority ... Christians or naught ... less-strife ...
this Easter Day of Christ's resurrection.
Easter constants Spring time: larger than life,
Easter wins the General Election.
"My Good and Faithful Servants ..." ... afterlife,
this Easter Day of Christ's resurrection.
