An Easter Poem
Deep in the earth
After a long winter of silence
The tomb of death
Becomes the warm womb of possibilities
And there it is and there we are—
Everything and everyone—
Waiting to emerge
Our hearts burning within us
Waiting to be born again
To return to the light
To awake from dreaming
To transcend the bonds of death
To rise to new life
Rising above the fray into the beauty of Creation
Praising God for the sunlight and the rain
And the light of the risen Son
A Son shining in our hearts and minds
Leading us on His path way of peace and reconciliation
A path that seeks to restore an everlasting bond
A bond begun at the beginning between all of creation and its Creator
A bond that will again last beyond
Beyond the end of time
(Adapted from Spiritual Reading for the Liturgical Christian)
