Resurrecting Me
Jesus is Spring
rebirth
he tills the fallow fields of my soul
casting out stones
and pulling weeds
planting love
fertilizing with his own blood
harvesting life eternal.

I loved this one, such a wonderful way to tie Spring and Christ together through resurrection, and told from such a deeply personal viewpoint.

Susan — sometimes the plowing can get a little painful. And somebody just seems to be snatching days off the calendar without my consent!
