Like spring shoots
Reaching up through the anonymous
Earth packed and suppressed
Quiet and muted voices rise
Coloured and nuanced in beauty
Fear of cacophony quelled
Wisdom heralded in symphonic
Harmony extended beyond
Boundaries of expectation
A plenitude of wonder
Shades of delight expressed
Voices lifted in the light
Breaking through to wonder
Expelling the cold contained
Saints discovering delight
In the other investing
Reaching in transforming
Emptying of self constrained
This is the beauty of baptistic
Holding light and love embraced
Through arms stretched out in pain
Healing broken hearts and soul
