The sonnet “Spring Veil of White Petals, Christ’s Design” envisions the white spring buds of trees—Bradford Pear, Dogwood, Crabapple, Plum, and Magnolia—as a wedding dress crafted by Christ. Each tree shapes the gown’s divine form: the Pear’s musky, bold petals, the Dogwood’s lace-like bracts with earthy sweetness, the Crabapple’s pearl-like blooms with crisp fragrance, and the Plum and Magnolia’s graceful, scented array. Rich in imagery, the poem fuses nature’s splendor with spiritual metaphor, portraying spring’s blossoms as a fragrant, radiant vestment of grace and renewal.
The Bradford Pear unfurls its snowy veil,
A bride adorned in petals, soft and bright,
Its fragrance spills, a musky, wild exhale,
A gown of spring, bold-stitched by heaven’s light.
The Dogwood bows, its bracts like lace outspread,
A savior’s touch in every creamy fold,
With hints of earth, a scent both sweet and dead,
A vestment pure, through crucifixion told.
Crabapple blooms, like pearls on silk, arise,
Their perfume dances, tender, crisp, and free,
A garment gleamed with dew-kissed, soft surprise,
Christ’s handiwork in floral filigree.
Plum and Magnolia join, their white array,
A wedding dress of grace that scents the day.
Passionately Pursuing Christ
