How Long

***FEATURED MEMBERS CHOICE*** Flower Spring Daffodil Snow


This heaviness upon my soul--
absorbed
original

echoes of the martyrs' blood-stained voices
groaning bodiless for justice.

These cries belie the promise of spring--
autumn leaves pressed by winter's heavy hand
losing themselves
resurrected in flowerbeds.

Where are the daffodils?
How long
oh Lord?
