A Breathless Pause...

I felt it the other evening on a twilight trek, and this morning where, after last night's thunder that rattled our windowsit seems to have cracked a vault!The temps are climbing!Do you feel it too on this day between Somber Good Fridayand glorious Easter Morn?!A breathless pause... A breathless pause before applause erupts in verdant wowAnd laughter roars through bud-shaped doors studding still barren boughWhere Sense of Verge ignites an immense urge to dance and singBecause the earth replete with birth kindles hope’s song of spring …and windowpanes and puddled lanes wear raindrop’s happy tearsThey tickle timid shoots and quicken woodland’s teeming cheersAnd robin trills and daffodils and dormant hills replyAnd all the world is silver-pearled beneath a beaming sky The lawn is full of sticks where nature’s arborist pruned treesAnd eggs are full of chicks that youngsters are eager to squeezeThe garden smiles, the breeze beguiles us to linger to gazeAt sanguine scenes played out in dreams of flower-precious days …and we all feel youth’s fresh appeal; the zeal of joy renewedAmbition streams with hopes and dreams and humble gratitudeTo God, because a breathless pause captures Life held at bayBefore applause erupts because the stone is rolled away © Janet Martin John 11:25Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.
