Arise, my Love....with Trilliums

5/26/2014

 
Picture
May is the month when spring comes into its own in Michigan, the month that my husband and I were married, the month the trilliums bloom. 
Picture
This time of year I usually take long exploratory walks, drinking in the brief season of trillum bloom.  In places it feels almost like fairy land to me.
Picture
My inspiration was to put several of these loves of May into one painting.....and the beautiful words from Song of Solomon that only grow more meaningful for me as the years go by.
Picture
My beloved spoke, and said to me:

Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.
For lo, the winter is past, The rain is over and gone.
The flowers appear on the earth;
The time of singing has come,
And the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land.

Song of Solomon 2: 10-12
Picture
The long darkness, cold, and confinement of winter bursting suddenly into the warmth, beauty, and freedom of spring.
The sweet surprise of love after long years of loneliness.
The fading away of this sad world in death, and awakening to the joys of heaven to be greeted by the Savior. 


What could be better?
