Seeds of Easter – v6

Seeds of Easter, planted,

joy dormant, waiting,

in winter, the darkness;

in the season, the journey

waiting to burst forth

a harvest surely to come.

So long before, in the time of waiting,

in the words of the psalmist

the promise He will return;

like water in the desert

to bring the seeds dormant

springing to abundant life.

In the ashes, the soil, the ground,

the seeds of Easter planted

in the dormancy of this season;

like the bulbs of each spring

waiting for the coming light of morning

to spring forth in bold new life.
