It’s been a long time since I wrote on a five-minute prompt. It’s been even longer since I wrote a poem. This morning, I’m taking a few minutes to write this Easter prayer poem, and I hope you enjoy it.

I need spring, Lord.

I need You to clear away

all the brown decaying

detritus piled up for months

of cold waiting.

I need Your sunshine

to coax forth new growth

white and hidden

under dead leaves

but greening

as soon as Your light

gives sustenance.

I need your soft breezes

cheerful bird songs

blue sky hope

to remind me

nothing is impossible

for the one who believes.

One Sunday morning

Your light shone forth

in a garden,

when everyone thought

darkness would reign.

I need new hope

only You can give.

Help me find it today

in the fresh tender leaves

of lilac branches

whose flowers lift incense

heavenward

every year.
