When was it I learned
This day was not just colored egg
All full of children
Was when the song deep tuned became like sun
And I  listened to angel voice
The song a hymn soft hummed

I know the power that reverence brings
To life just a piece of clinging vine
A soft float of moss across the top of water
The true touch of listening wind
From a place where it matters yes
And song fills the emerald sky
Deep in cave this lullaby does snuff out dark
And turn beleaguered into start

Each time a baby breathes
And death captures another’s last
I wonder at the majesty of this part
This tiny finger with ridges getting older
Still and all love keeps this pattern on my wall
Where there is music majesty
A pattern imprinted just like candle upon the dark
Though hunters grab my meaning
And into doubt I fall with wealth of words impart

Still I sing this day a blessing for the green of this
That pulls me into knowing how with beauty
Time is still full and always captured
Even when the drowning day is done and dreams dare
I take a blessed breath of peace and I am there.

(smiles) Awwwwwwww, this is soooooo gorgeous, sweet friend, I too agree with all my heart that Easter is almsot like the May pole of spring, to celebrate the harvest of life that Jesus offers us and the bunny symbolizes the multiplying of blessings and new life in order! (kiss on cheek) May smiles and hope flourish your heart this Easter, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martie, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Awww yes!!  
He who seeks shall find, I suppose we all go about that in different ways
but no doubt it leads to the same place!!  
Enjoyed this Martie~

Ah Martie, how I love this poem and especially the last line as it sums it all up and sets it gently down...perfectly.
Hope yours was a peaceful Easter Sunday.
