Spring

What is this thing?
This time of year
We call spring
Living
in the Northern
Hemisphere
Dying
in the Southern
We are reminded of life's fragile chord
In this year of our Risen Lord
The Passion Vine, when in bloom

tells the story of His doom

Creator of all and this sphere

Pierced with thorn, nail, and spear

What is this thing?

Faith that He rose

I call it Spring

The thorn and it's sting

The Earth and it's rose
