Easter Hope and Joy

Not for One, but for the Many…

“Christ is risen from the dead, and by His death He has trampled upon death,
and has given live to those, who are in the tombs.” – the Troparion of Pascha

Taking it on the level,
as only You, Lord, can do.
Giving what humanity,
can only aspire to grasp.

Falling down, then getting up,
pushed time upon time again.
Light of Life into darkness,
You brought life—heart, mind, and soul.

Impostors come, and they go,
but Your Spirit, Lord, remains.
Waiting our reception, Lord,
not for one, but for the many.

Easter Hope and Joy

Risen…

The light, rising in the east,

Breaks over the water’s edge,

Reaching out to all.

Its glow carries warmth,

Its sharpness, an invitation.

Zooming in to look and listen,

It shimmers and it shines.

What does it mean?

What does it say?

The journey of day,

Darkness ever attempting

To be in life’s way.

Yet, some things are impossible.

Light, like life, is never ending.

Up and over,

Again, and again.

With this Light,

Nothing is impossible.

Alleluia! Alleluia! Christ is risen! Alleluia!
