The Willow Egg

April is the time for renewal and rebirth. —Michelle Liew

She found it underneath the willow tree

A chocolate egg, wrapped in colored thread and moss—

No one had come by here; it wasn’t free;

But left with care, like a gift left ‘neath a cross.

She cracked its shell, to find a folded note

“Forgive, though chills may sometimes linger.”

Handwritten script, in broad, red strokes of hope

“Renewal waits, though the doubtful heart will shiver.”
