The Daffodil is a poem by Elaine Christensen.
I like it.
My mind runs barefooted, towards the meadow I've planted it in, every Easter Sunday now, since I first discovered it....
.... and since I couldn't get on line to post anything at that time - I'm wishing everyone a Happy Easter going forward into your springtime and I'm posting it now, for yall to consider.
The Daffodil
-- by Elaine Christensen
It is the quiet
the suffocating quiet
that is so hard.
I know the death you fear,
the blackness
the narrow bed
the waiting for spring.
It is a long time to have faith
for you who buried me
and for me
with no voice
to make sure I am remembered.
Will you fall to your knees
in April grass
when you hear the sound
of my yellow trumpet?
(It's good to be back! I've missed you all! Hugs and Kisses! -D.)
