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.
Love the photo and this is a good wording sharing piece. Made me smile and nod. Thank you much.
