We are so amazingly loved……aren’t we?
And contained within
is the mystery discovered.
Even the renewal
of earth declares
the shape, the sense
of wholeness.
Happy Easter!
I have many readers with a different faith than my own, so I wish everyone here the blessings of renewal and peace!

Perhaps all we really need is to lose ourselves
on a quiet wooded trail,
lifting our heads to the warm caresses
of the sun on our faces,
to fill our lungs with the air
from blue skies,
to embrace the power
and the beauty
of all that was made.

In the evening light, thoughts of a softer night
in deeper, darker blue
revelations bringing
words
to encourage.

Traces lingering, even a memory
of joy in the sunlight
a warmer horizon
and hope
everlasting.

In the spring woods, listening to the water dancing,
we can see more clearly to the other side
a spirit vision through the water,
bringing healing
through the mist
of battle scars.

Each leaf takes its turn, dancing
in the sunlight, proclaiming
the sweet victory of hope
in the affirmation
of spring.

Sometimes the night can seem so beautiful,
and yet holds such a quiet deception,
the deflection of light
limiting,
our vision.
