Seasons of grace

"A sonnet, as requested"

See, I do make all things new,
For all your sins my Son was beaten,
Restoring what the locusts have eaten.
On your fleece I did send dew,
My light yoke, in ounces, but a few -
You'd better rest in this troubled season,
Thirty coins of silver is treason,
In my tower of grace, lets rendezvous.
A new heart I need, is my reply,
Thirst-quenching water, my soul needs.
A heart of stone, now gladly returned -
My hopeful head, lifted to the sky,
My feet, in fertile soil, touch seeds -
A season of growth, now gladly discerned.

Author's Note

Each line inspired by an individual scripture.

I thought before I read the notes that this felt Biblical. A modern day Time for Every Season. Excellent work.

Manmade entertainment does not do it for me.....:) .....A raft on a river.....taking a shower under a waterfall, scouting nature for hidden secrets.....now that is my cup of tea.....too wild for most civilized people....:P
