Easter

the beauty shown to me,
glistening
on this broad harbor
of saltiness sailing to and fro,
reminds me
of what Easter is all about:

rebirth

restoration

a new beginning, a new
life for all Creation:

the kiss of the promise of the sun,
the pledge of the future
for every last one;

all around, struggles and then
bursts forth
in sun-warmed
splendor

as time shifts,
hearts awaken,
lovers turn and embrace,
and all bow their heads
in a moment of grace,

simply

to remember.
