Seeds of Easter – v2

Seeds of Easter, planted
joy dormant, waiting
waiting to burst forth
a harvest surely to come

So long before, in the time of waiting
in the words of the psalmist
water in the desert
to bring the seeds dormant
to abundant life

In the ashes, the soil, the ground
seeds of Easter planted
like the bulbs of each spring
waiting for the coming light of morning
to spring forth in loving new life
