Turn to the Light





In early spring
living things turn into the light.

Stems, branches, and vines 
reach for the sun’s rays.
Blooms and leaves too,
bend in that direction.

Felines search out sills 
most drenched with brilliance.

Turtles sun along the banks of brightly lit shores.

We humans 
lift our faces for that longed for warmth.

And the Christian heart...
turns toward the brilliance of the risen Lord on Easter Sunday.

Fervent for Holy hope.
Rejoicing in the eternal gift.
