Spring

spring-blog-picWhen all that deep down

pregnant life

hidden in winter darkness

breaks through barren ground

bursts through buds

of bushes and branches

extravagant with color

vibrant with energy

accompanied by exquisite

psalm songs

bird choirs perform.

Beauty calling the world once again

to lavish gentleness and new life.

    Thank you, Sister Donna, for once again expressing beautifully the heart’s joy in Springtime. Psalms from the bird choir is something I will remember, especially early mornings with the choir so full of praise.
