Resurrecting Me
Jesus is Spring
rebirth
he tills the fallow fields of my soul
casting out stones
and pulling weeds
planting love
fertilizing with his own blood
harvesting life eternal.

Polona — I appreciate your commenting on it since it isn’t your topic.
I loved this one, such a wonderful way to tie Spring and Christ together through resurrection, and told from such a deeply personal viewpoint.
Il faut cultiver notre jardin, was my thought — and I do need to do that btw in many ways!
You’re a third the way through April now, wow that happened fast.
Susan — sometimes the plowing can get a little painful. And somebody just seems to be snatching days off the calendar without my consent!
