Spring Bursts Forth

 

The pine trees

with their green palms

have kept the faith

during a cold, bitter winter.

This morning bluebirds

lift melodies on a breeze,

jonqils pop up as lemon drops

through earth's dark tomb.

A white-tailed deer

sails over a greening field,

Hyatt-Mill Creek laughing

as bunnies tumble on dandelions.

A blood-red sunrise

sets the mountains afire,

dogwoods wear white crosses

and celebrate the risen Lord.

I wish all my blogger friends a Happy Easter and beautiful Spring!
