I love this time of year! Everything is so fresh and green, almost a perfect lime green with all the little new leaves coming out. These were taken along our river greenway system again just this morning. The green of the plants was so intense even the reflections in the water looked green. The two Canadian geese looked like they were sitting on green glass! I hope everyone has a pleasant and blessed day. Praise God!

Easter Sonrise!

Easter
New life,
Spring’s eternal promise
Strives to not ever
Leave us
Having only just to guess.

After a cold sleep
And winter’s death
Sweet Spring always brings
Earth’s bright regeneration
Our Hopes it never shuns.

Miniature blades of new grass,
Erupt from underneath
A hardened earth’s brown crust
In delicate tendrils, their fresh
Green beauty they each to all bequeath

Struggling, bursting through
Dark, tight skins of bark,
each trembling newborn leaf
sings of a perfect life renewed
as tree limbs reach to heaven.

New Babes come forth
On land, sky and the sea
Joy vibrating in sky’s air
Showing a Creator’s Power
To cause each new life to be.

I do not think
(I may be wrong)
No chance seems it to me
That Earth’s spring brings
each a new life within
a freshly resurrected King!

His frail dead body
Hanging on a lifeless tree
In shame and
ignorance of man
shows God’s always
most Immaculate of Plans.

Eternity on display
Upon a cross
Sent to cleanse
Destroy forever
Each soul’s darkest dross.

It cannot be by
a Mere Coincidence
That within each Earth’s Spring,
Fair Easter brings a Christ’s new life
Fulfilling our deepest need.

Thus through His death
we all receive
a heaven’s eternal life.
Is this not man’s most
Heartfelt song,
a bright Rebirth,
an end at last so final
to this decay of earth
in dark and woeful strife?

May you have a very blessed Easter. May the presence and love of Christ cover your day. Praise God!!

Re-creation

A simple plan
Twas always meant to be
Not coming from earth’s man
Involved land, sky & sea

A universe restricted
Only by power’s hands
Inspired by divinity’s
Heaven and its love of man

Twill be again someday
A brave new world
With clear, fresh eyes we’ll see
That always this was meant to be

Re-perfected, re-created
Brought back to original glory
Within a Holy Book
Is openly declared this story

Pray, do not miss
Your one and only chance
To live in unbelievable glory
Do not miss even a tiniest glance

A new Heaven and
A completely new Earth
Way of life unknown since
Its first original birth

No more darkness
No more sin, death or pain
All in love is given
Purely for man’s eternal gain

In love He reaches
With fingers so gentle
To lead and persuade
To live within His Love’s cascades

Pouring, showering
Us each day
His profound love
Even as He laid

His life out on a cross
He did it for His world
All within so blind and lost
Within a tomb was laid His pearl

Until it burst forth
From underneath cold death
Willing now to give rebirth
to all souls who ever walked this earth

Each, animal, plant and man
Will be rebirthed to a new life
Lead by the gentlest of hands
All and each removed from any strife

Unbelievable beauty
Unsurpassed joy
Both beyond my mere words to say
will fill for all and forever
each gloriously bright and newest day!
