[stylist] Easter Sunday Morning

[Donna Hill]

Lynda,
Very nice poem. Nice to know others can contemplate Easter outside of the
buildings called churches. I really like the image "lemon chiffon sun" and
how it "warns" the branches.

Happy Easter - and Joyful Resurrection Day!

Here is a poem I wrote some time ago. As I was going through my archives, I
revised it considerably.

"Easter Sunday Morning"

                            The early morning choir twitters
                            Chirps  deep inside  the dusty bushes
accompanied by  low, long mournful tones

of wheels turning against the pavement.

 

A hidden lemon chiffon sun brightens the  sky

somewhere behind  layers of  melancholy  mists -

softly  warming  the  mahogany branches

of starkly naked springtime trees.

 

I made no special plans for today-

no periwinkle blue  shoes or silken  amethyst  dress.

Instead, I recline on soft linen  pillows 

and  write on ashen  journal pages.  

Tranquil.  I listen and watch.

 

A gloomy opening of a hillside cave

dances through my thoughts.

>From somewhere in the Eastern world,

stories of old dreams continue to be told.

 

 I contemplate  the meaning of this day.
