spring’s presence

 In this sunshine

I let my body

Warm from

The inside out

As I await

Sweet red tomatoes

Juicy cantaloupes 

And getting down

In ruddy clay

Plucking weeds

Like dandelions

Letting me

Rejoice

In Spring’s Presence

Letting me

Revel in

The arrival

Of new seasons

With new smiles

And baited anticipation

Flowers bloom

Bees await nectar

And beauty

In His creation

Send hope

Thrumming 

Through my bones

Like an aphrodisiac 

Linen dresses

Adorn my body

As a lone cross

Glistens

In reverence

To the

Holy One
