Seeds of Easter – v3

Seeds of Easter, planted

joy dormant, waiting

in winter, the darkness

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

springing 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
