Read Song of Solomon 2 in context

Scripture Focus

10My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.

11For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;

12The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;

13The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.

Song of Solomon 2:10-13

Biblical Context

The verses invite the beloved to rise and depart to a place of renewal, signaling that winter is past and spring's life returns. It is an inner invitation to awaken to divine love and the fresh creation within.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the stillness of your consciousness, the beloved's call is a summons to the I AM to shift its state. 'Rise up, my love, and come away' is not a move through space but a turning of attention from lack to presence. Winter, with its rain and barrenness, represents old thought patterns; the birthday of spring—the flowers, the birds, the green figs, the fragrant vines—signifies your awareness blossoming when you acknowledge your true identity as I AM. The land becomes your mind's field; the voice of the turtle and the birds becomes joyous inner confirmation. To 'arise' is to choose this renewed state and stay in it, letting the new creation unfold in you. Trust that renewal is yours now by consciousness, not by external change, and let praise and fragrance fill your being as you live from the risen state of love.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, close your eyes, and imagine you are the beloved invited to rise and come away. Then affirm, 'I am already in the spring of love; I rise up and go into my inner garden,' and feel the renewal in every breath.
