restoration

Portent Of Spring

as sunlight illuminates
a spot of green
faith restored

just like the mist
morning rises
on the fallow field

the spirit restores
finding the space of place
along gracious paths

leaves to unfurl
songs to sing
spring’s beginnings

every bud’s opening
was a restoration
of faith

beauty seals
the ragged cracks
mending the broken heart

with the crop given
the field speaks to the clouds
of respite and restoration

balm to sorrow
the earth smiles
sunshine and flowers

noon time shade
and the company of flowers
completes my peace

winter’s still life
steals my breath
restores my spirit
