Strange, isn’t it,
how the dark earth
grows in spears of light.
And it’s strange,
how a child of crystal,
bends light into words.
But it’s very strange,
when the messenger
appears at my door.
Stranger still when
she tells me,
I must listen.
Tells me I must hear,
the Light of the Earth,
tender words of spring eternal.
