Resurrection Song

A soft, subtle music gently drifts

Through the chilly April air,

Catching my attention as it uplifts

My awareness to places where

An elegant symphony is playing

On this sunny Easter morn.

To my straining ears it's sweetly saying

That the earth it wishes to adorn

With its melody of hope and renewal

As it tinkles a tiny bluebell

And sounds the note of a magnolia jewel

With a message it seeks to tell

Through the golden voices of daffodils,

The red tulips in colorful choir,

And the cherry tree blossoms' fluffy frills

That sing out their ardent desire

That all rise up and join today

Their song of resurrection.

Humanity choosing a peaceful way

Can change our world's direction.

Molly Moore returned to Hawaii after completing her nursing education in Seattle, Washington. Perhaps her previous career as an international flight attendant is what launched Molly’s "flights of fancy" into poetry. A love of rhythm and rhyme sparks her creative side, especially while outdoors in nature
