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.
                 --Brenda Kay Ledford

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