The poem, Easter Bloom, portrays the renewal of Easter through vivid natural imagery. It begins with dawn illuminating a landscape where earth and willow signal rebirth. A crocus emerges from frost, symbolizing resilience, while sparrows’ songs fill the air with a sacred melody. The poem concludes with life breaking free from burial, as light gently nurtures a triumph over death, echoing Easter’s theme of resurrection.

Beneath the willow’s tender sway,
a dawn spills gold on broken clay—
the earth exhales, a quiet hymn,
resurrection stitched in every limb.

The crocus lifts its purple throat,
a fragile note the frost rewrote,
and sparrows thread the air with sound,
their wings a psalm on hallowed ground.

What was buried stirs anew,
root and stone part ways for dew—
the light leans in, soft as breath,
to cradle life that outruns death.
