Hoping you all had a wonderful, meaningful Easter!
Thank you to Elaine who's so thoughtfully (thank Goodness, for I was seeking something and this fits perfectly) provided this poem. With all the earth springing into new growth its so appropriate!
Tendrils
Vines are growing, searching, knowing
Looking forward never showing
Any fragrant flower or fruit
Only giving newer shoot
Upward climbing, won’t remain,
In one place or pause to train
It’s hidden ways, but will protect
Should someone greater, observe, inspect
This leafy wonder on the vine
Wandering over land and time
Taking ground and always knowing
Never any fruit is showing
In distant rows a man is singing
The words are faint but He is bringing
Pleasant words in song and note
To a wandering vine who cannot quote
A single famous verse or line
That would protect her precious vine
From Him who walks with muddy boots
To hear her story, see her shoots
And listening, grasping he lifts her head
The vines are branches, she is dead
From shame and hurt and divination
A life alone in mind and station
She sees His face, He is the Truth
He never left her in her youth
He let her grow as branches do
Until this time, until she knew
Her vines were branches in The Root
An now the Gardener will proceed
To cut away the rot and weed
And clean a place for her to grow
Her old gardener must let go
She will be trained upon the wire
Her branches cut, her leaves inspire
Other shoots to do the same
To let the Savior come and tame
And let this branch have time to flower
But this time by the Savior’s power
She lives.
