your grandeur is unmatched
vast all-embracing roof to shelter those inside
tall reaching spire that touches the heavens
our eyes reach upward
a direct line to God
lines, angles, symmetry
everything in its place
The first to arrive are the daffodils
announcing spring is here
perky and fresh, dewy and delicate
you skirt the majestic meeting place
with a canary smile
Tulip trees trumpet
(in case you missed it)
spring is surely here
soft pink petals adorn the trees
only to fall in a cascade of perfume
a carpet of silk leaves
cushion the magical fairy garden
two reminders that the next lap begins
a hand off of bitter days
in exchange for glimpses of warmth
an emergence of new growth for the earth
and the soul

Our eyes reach upward… I like that line, it’s very hopeful. The change of seasons is well-described.

Happy Spring, happy holidays. I still picture my childhood town’s spire in my dreams — a beautiful image.

oh my gosh –> two reminders that the next lap begins / a hand off of bitter days / in exchange for glimpses of warmth / an emergence of new growth for the earth / and the soul – beautiful word choice and depth of meaning. It would be stanza I would highlight and come back to if this were in a book. It really is just beautiful.
