It was there for the speaking

The awakening
the spirit-stirring the water
as the sun began melting down the winter
and encouragement brought to ruin
the dragon of trouble

even the dead began breathing
in the resurrection

Springing
forth in the fountain of courage
running in the colors of summer
love was the stick in the spoke
that stopped the wheel of war
hope was the word
that laid to waste the efforts of depression

even the prodigal began breathing out
the words of redemption

the good news
that life is always available for the living
