Salvation

Frozen, white jacket trees
Hear Night’s song—sad, silent.
Slowness of movement
brings man to his knees.
Winter of existence-
bursts, breaks, blossoms, blooms
into vitality – Conquer resistance.
River free again roams.
Noise released, life renewed,
flowers bud, grass grows green,
for Winter’s heart received spring dew,
and liquid roses wash the unclean.
Nature’s beauty speaks with pride
of its’ young master who bled, died.
Lives of winter, pain, and loss,
he turned to spring nailed on a cross.
