Resurrection

The ecstasy of this night
enraptures me to the depths of my soul

This wind carries a sweet unfamiliar breath
of living nectar

I feel the earth awaken
in a symphony of eager silence

The first splashes of maddened color spring impatiently
from tentative bud

The life-giving pulse
of this first refuge from ceaseless winter
is a balm to my weary spirit
and a new dawn in the depths of my heart
