Exceptional free verse Natural Light : Renewal by estory

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 Author Notes This is my Easter poem this year. It is a poem with an open construction, images that seem to sprout and flower and take off and float away into the skies, going on forever. This is a poem I hoped would capture the spirit of the Resurrection of Christ, the hope it brings to mankind, and the whole world. Spring is the metaphor for that Resurrection. estory
