One April Day


~ by Nancy



An April sun
Blushes scarlet
Resigned
To
Setting

From faded brilliance
An April twilight
Tells
My
Name

I sense
A press
Upon my heart
A revelation
I can
Almost
Hear…

Embrace
This night

Half hidden
The moon
Far off
Dawn’s light

Walk
The dusky meadow grasses

Turn your face
To drowsy mists

Draw near
Her sodded bed
Her
Bier
But for your coming

Kneel
Gather
Hope
Carry home
Your
Healing

Live
Long
The privileged years
Strengthened
In shared sorrows
Defined
In holy joys
Each moment
A fullness
Of
Loving
~

An April echo
Tranquil
True

A promise made
Kept

In
April
Hearts
