Spring, burst open with your symphony
Of tender grass and youthful leaves
That yearn to explode into sight
Declaring new life to all who might
See with open hearts and curious minds
What God sees
Cherry blossom, soft and pink
Whispers hope as it withers and sinks
To the ground it goes
Sacrificing self to usher in the flow
Of things to come as God is moving
We wait for more
Revealing mysteries large and small
Through grass and leaf and blossom all
God showing us transcendent truths
In the joy of spring and its blissful youth
Hope, splendor, new birth is here
To set us free
A Settled Heart
