The Seed Bursting Forth

Up from the ground
unable to hold him
the seed bursting into the light
on that Easter morning

Unable to contain the Christ
the seed alive, reborn
death no longer controlling him
a wonder to behold

Joy in the harvest
the sacrifice of the seed
dying that we may live
to walk with God again
