White Bluebells

Since you have been brought back to true life with Christ,

you must look for the things that are in heaven, where Christ is,

sitting at God’s right hand.

I thought I heard 

a kind of voice 

rustling in the confusion 

of grass and leaves,

bits of broken trees, 

the rogue debris of a harsh-
season's reign.

Though, what uprisings disturbed the evening air

were pale-fluted petals crowding there,

resounding their tender revolution of joy

into the protestations of the dying light,

approaching raid of night,
dark crush of the world

over every silent underground.
