The Stillest Stone

Soft morning light

Spills across the Earth,

Like a whisper

That something has returned.

Petals open without asking permission,

Birds stitch the sky

Back together with song

And quiet ground remembers

How to breathe again.

There is something holy

In the way life insists-

In green pushing through cold soil,

In hope rising where it once was buried.

Easter is not loud.

It is gently unfolding,

A promise written in

Sunlight and shadow:

That endings are never the end,

And even the stillest stone

Can be rolled away.
