Springtime Rebirth
A day wherein to wake warm sun to drench,
while it hangs temptingly reaching nature's
ravenous hunger only sun doth quench.
As warm in wild or tame heart leal creatures.
Benign spring upon buds slowly open,
sweeping gold hay-field and purple loosestrife,
songs among branches, cool wind unspoken
sounds descend on restoration of life.
A wee girl in white chiffon Easter dress,
flower hat with embroidery and lace.
Dulcet music ring throughout the church, bless
celebration of life and loving grace.
Spring and Easter bring forth new life from death.
Jesus resurrection, in heaven's breath.
