Up from the depths
Life breaks the dark
And ground
Into air and light

All of the colors
Of all the blossoms of spring
Exclaim these resurrections,
This resilience

In the brilliance of light,
In the brilliance of skies,
In the brilliance of air,
Determined, beautiful, alive

Life celebrates,
Born again
Out of winter and death,
Reaching upwards

Clear with the clarity
Within the light
Lighting the darkness
And the reborn landscape,

A rainbow
Silk thread
Pulled tight
Overhead,

Turned inside
Out, a butterfly fluttering
Over the flowers
Growing out of the graves
Of the dead
