After the storm,
peace falls upon the earth
like an emerald scarf.
After the fog lifts,
a sunrise sets
the mountains afire.
After all the obstacles,
creation gives birth
to a season of hope.
After being trounced,
tulips burst forth
from a borrowed tomb.
After the death,
a purple hyacinth unpins
fragrant blossoms.
After the fear,
yellow bell bushes ring
a golden melody.
After the sickness,
songbirds lift joyful tunes,
jet streams form a cross.
