Resurrection Day

Wine is like the Lord Jesus, it can bring 

the dead to life (Hafiz)

__________________________________________________

it is a thankless task

rooting around in my flower beds

early spring

here high in the mountains

there are few signs

that my yard

will once again

find resurrection

all looks brown

and dead

deer eaten

and ragged

and yet the power

of God

to bring the dead back to life

dead plants

dead hope

dead hearts

dead souls

 

is ever evident

Easter is not the only resurrection day

 

my soul

my heart

finds new life

in the beauty of the sunrise

the beauty of my grandaughter

the gentle nudge of a friendly mare

the warmth of the sun on my shoulders

the warm embrace of a friend

 

Every day

is 

resurrection day
