Easter Skies<br />
by Robert. Martin<br />
When winter with its grayish silver hue,<br />
Of nebulous skies that growled and ruled,<br />
Waved its scepter and chased the rain<br />
As it filled the upper limits and laid a claim.<br />
But Easter with its clean and sacred hands,<br />
Of prophetic skies and spiritual wonderlands,<br />
Fresh from its tribute to the glorious ascension,<br />
Said to move ahead with a peaceful intention.<br />
As we devoutly follow in its sacred footsteps<br />
Along its winding paths and flowing rivulets,<br />
We come to an inner peace as our spirits rise,<br />
Our selves renewed from the greater Easter skies.<br />
