early promises |
|
at sunrise
stars and night fade then vanish as bright sunlight climbs up to prance about chasing away cold winter's gray
the new day
a minute reflection of larger things of slow-motion struggles between seasons and times spring always winning triumphantly marching over wintry death
twitching brown leaves
of a midwinter tree explode suddenly into flight proving to be not dead leaves at all but a restless cloud of noisy sparrows
it's all a dance
in the present age all this motion of time stepping first this way then back again from planting to harvest from snows to bubbling brooks only to do it all again
so now
I rejoice
in the promise
Jim
As night gives way to dawn, and winter gives way to spring, so also death will one day give way — forever — to life and to the glory that is to be revealed in God's children.
