Easter Gifts

Easter gifts for family
Speckled treasures of the heart and of the mind,
Oh, and of the spirit,
Meadowlarks sing,
Daffodils dilly dally,
Moss grows,
On the blooming lilac tree,
Time passes and slows
Bent like strings
On Eric Clapton's guitar
Sweet sounds from wrinkles in time,
And there,
From out the rock,
Beams of light,
Like sun rising,
Like Faith brewing,
Like Hope eternal,
Like Love unbounded,
Emerges The One,
The Being of Light,
The Daffodil of laughter,
The Moss of warm blanketed friendship,
The Speckled Treasure of nests everlasting,
The Lilac of scents of therapies soothing,
There, out of the silence,
Emerges: All that is hidden, revealed,
What you have heard in whispers,
Proclaimed from the house tops.

Our heart spews like lava, the pledge:
We will follow,
We will follow,
Tell us how to follow.
And the gentle voice replies:
With Easter gifts for family,
With Speckled Treasures of the heart and of the mind,
Oh, and of the spirit,
With Meadowlarks singing,
With Daffodils dilly dallying,
With Moss growing,
On the blooming Lilac Tree,
With Time passing and slowing,
Bent like strings
On Eric Clapton's guitar
With sweet sounds from wrinkles in time,
And with Love,
Always with Love,
With Love, Love,
With Love.
