Easter Laugh

Entombed in the winter to burst forth in April; their petals bear shadows of crosses and nails. Some think Augusta; I image Golgatha: bread of life broken and all that entails. Gloried reminder of what comes right after, the dogwoods in springtime burst into full bloom. Moriah spared Isaac, rejoicing with laughter, Abraham’s seed springs forth, prepares a room.

The only tree in my front yard is a dogwood, small and twisted, it bears out the old legend. It was hit hard by the late freeze, but I'm still hopeful it can bloom out this year. Nice writing, Jeff.
