Sunrise.

Painting by Elizabeth Fraser


In quiet resurrection of Your first light.

I experienced Your presence-
Intimate intensity.
Soothing calm swelled by absence -
Void. Solace stilled my misery.

Winter’s death melts from my soul -
Renewal. Rebirth.
Healing fervor - Your console –
Softened frozen Earth.

Blooms adorn once empty bones -
Open gratitude.
Water pours from icy stones –
Unlocked, restored by only You.

"All I need is the sunrise.
Just a moment of dawn." - Brandon Heath
