Spring Time

Father,

Breathe into my soul

The Spring Time Power

Of the Resurrection --

The birthing of Your Son, Jesus,

From winter's death. Then

My soul's fields

Will green from grace, and,

The warming breeze

Of Your Forgiveness

Will take winter's sting and bite

From my sins. And,

Your grace,

Like winter's melted waters,

Will nourish my soul's

Pent-up buds.

Yes, as earth's soil comes alive

With prisms revealing life's spectrum,

So  Your Spring Time Power will to my  soul.

But, as death, life's mandate,

Opens the seed to bud and to flower,

So with the spring time of  my soul.

Only, if I companion with Jesus,

Comrade with His sufferings, and

Bleed with Him to death,

Will I come to know

The Full Field of Jesus, and

Find Joy, Salvific joy --

The souls' spring time.
