A Coiled Spring

Release The Coiled Spring

Tight and tensioned ‘neath Terra firma

Lifeless, cold dark days slumbered past

Bristling tension stirs, seeking sun

Coiled tight from the Winter’s night

Oroboros- like turning, circling into light

Creation’s eternal hopeful circle

Turns again from furtive fingers seeking Spring

To grasp the gift borne on nature’s wing

Anchored deep beneath the surface

Safe secured with umbilical roots so deep

Embryonic leaves unfurl and devour the rays

God’s gift of hope renewed by longer, lighter days
