When spring first
began
tender shoots and
budded trees
promised
the hope of verdant
summer days.

So our souls,
when we first
open our hearts
to the Spirit of God.

Jesus enters as spring's
first kiss.

The deadened winter
of the souls'
cold and empty
heart
comes alive as
springs first embrace
with tentative buds
of hope,
and as we continue
to yield
to His passionate
Love,
new growth appears,
and old pain,
lonelier than a forrest
of winter chill,
fades and blossoms
into the beauty
and Grace
of deep spring.

Ellie this is some beautiful analogy here. I think you submit this one to Blue Mountain or something. Submit it somewhere Hon, so it can be viewed by hundreds, thousands!  

Click above and submit to the main site also!

Excellent, excellent!

I like the title of your poem-as well as the poem itself-you seem to be a pro at drawing lessons & truths from nature-to spiritually speak to our souls.  Deep Spring--what is a spring-if it does not lead to the fullness of a summer's fruition-a very great point-a wonderful poem,   David
