FROM DARKNESS INTO DAWN (EASTER)

EASTER SUNDAY, APRIL 17TH

I walked from darkness into dawn
and the moon had kindly shined upon
this traveler with its gentle glow,
until it faded and then went low.

The sky reflected beautiful hues
from darker purple to brighter blue
and shining yellow from softer peach.

All nature seemed intent to teach
a subtle but profound insight…
How can I live, so that I might
follow in their sweet surrender?

Reflecting light, remaining tender,
while gradually learning to let go.

Then, in adoration bending low
as the sun breaks forth in bright array
and ushers in a brand-new day.


Blessed Easter, dear friends.

  1. Come, behold the empty tomb,
    summon courage to employ
    looking not at earthly doom
    but gateway to eternal joy!
    Come behold the rolled-out stone,
    come behold, the guards are gone!
    There’s an angel here alone,
    bright face shining like the dawn.
    Come now, settle down and listen,
    it’s the ending of the night
    (how the angel’s robe does glisten,
    what soap could make it so white?);
    “He’ll meet up with you, you’ll see,
    up the road in Galilee.”
