The Breath of Spring

If home is where heart-aches hang their hats, what shovel can make the mat welcome? Only Chinook winds of forgiveness, mercy, repentance, wafting on Spirit wings, can melt Denial and soften Stubbornness with the breath of Spring.

If home is where heart-aches hang their hats,

what shovel can make the mat welcome?

Only Chinook winds of forgiveness,

mercy,

repentance,

wafting on Spirit wings,

can melt Denial

and soften Stubbornness

with the breath of Spring.

    I love the first line the best–I had an immediate visual as I read it. I didn’t get the shovel–welcome mat part. I like the poem–denial is one of those slippery things I deal with from time to time; it kind of makes me temporarily crazy.

    I love how fluffy the snow is in your part of Canada. It makes lovely pictures! Melody, you are wise to remind us that the melting of “Denial” takes Divine intervention…

      So many layers of ‘us’ before we get to the true self. Bring on the Chinook! 🙂

    I loved the Chinook winds of forgiveness. That gives us an idea of how big it needs to be! God bless you and the spring that’s coming.

      Thanks Debbie – love your insight on the bigness of the breeze – I hadn’t thought of it quite like that, but I like the grandeur of the image in your eyes!

    Forgiveness, mercy, repentance, melts the hardest of hearts and is often softened through our tears…washing away the effects of hardened, cold hearts.
    Thanks Melody for sharing…this is beautiful!

      Thanks Glenda – it’s the Truth that is beautiful, and that inspires us to continue to write, isn’t it?
