LITURGY

Through the winter and into the Spring

Nature and time in its vow does bring

Leaves of green in a winsome array

Fullness in felicity for what shall come our way

The morning dew and rains in libation sweet

The glow and warmth of the rising sun to greet

Within the whispers of the wind secrets be told

The buds, the blooms, in adoration to unfold

A flower to be born, from green its color to reveal

A  destiny of supernal color and beauty beyond conceal

And so herald in the rites of Spring and time 

Blooms, the liturgy, in the name of the divine.
