Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

In the dark of the season
our true nature, the sins of man,
wanton self interest
driving the actors on the state

Seeds of Easter
joy dormant, waiting
waiting to burst forth
a harvest surely to come

So long before
in the words of the psalmist
water in the desert
to bring the seeds dormant
to abundant life

In the ashes, the soil
seeds of Easter planted
like the bulbs of each spring
waiting for the coming light of morning
to spring forth in loving new life
