[stylist] Easter Sunday Morning

[Ashley Bramlett]

I just read the poem; over a month late. But I was busy then.
Lynda, I like your reflection on the day. Yes, I agree Easter is sure 
peaceful.

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.
