Buds on the treetop make life seem
More optimistic – life moves on
Though the spark for many is now gone …
Easter is subdued this year*
Brussels wrapped in cloak of fear
Christ is risen – we believe
Yet deep within our hearts we grieve.
Mounds of chocolate eggs unsold
Those who would eat them now lie cold
Or 'fight the good fight'** for their lives;
But the human spirit, hurt, survives!
(c) Poet in the woods 2016
Easter 2016 - 27th March
