Lenten Valentine

The crooked crucifixion
of the shadow of the tree
laid to rest but sprouting green
has come again among a sea
of cloudy faces and a sun
rising inside unseen
except the eyes two dawns
reveal and reverence
all they see outside
the broken tree
the perfect shadow
the field green and pure
as the body of Christ laid
in the tomb of the mind
