Spring has replaced the winter’s frosty dawn
Birds return with sounds reclaimed
Their brilliant colours grace the skies.
Honey-suckle scent lingers in the air
Buds burst open to reveal their hidden treasure
Amid the shades of a rainbow, flowers flourish.
Butterflies dance from blossom to bloom
Trees announce the season with tender leaves
Like fingers, they point towards the heavens.
Distant roar of an aircraft engine
threatens to steal the tranquil peace
I smile at the sunshine and capture its warmth.
O Lord, this is a new day
I breathe in your freshness
and walk in your truth
I stand in your righteousness
Kneel in your holy presence
and take in a glimpse of your glory.
