Easter Rain

 

On spring Sunday morning

Son Day morning

Clouds shrouded

In mourning gray

Look

To see highway crosses

Standing straight and tall

Repeating

One after another

        “Empty…

          Empty…

          Empty…

          Empty…”

Then sky shell cracks

Pouring forth its deluge:

Delinquent praise!

Sound Praise

 

Sound praise!

 

Sound praise for Earth,

     yellow, blue, green and brown.

 

Sound praise for Wind,

     that chases

     tumbledown leaves

     round and round.

 

Sound praise for Sky,

     blue all around,

     where clouds and sun and stars

     are found.

 

Sound praise for Blossoms

     that abound,

     each wearing a golden crown

     and dressed

                   in iridescent gowns.

 

Sound praise for Willows,

     bending to the ground

 

and Rain,

 

Sound praise for Rain,

     crystal circles

     dropping down

     to hit the pavement and rebound.
