Easter Thoughts

May the Christ
...be raised anew
...in you
Though the darkness closes in,
and the chill clutches your dreams

May the Christ...
...be born again
...in us
Though the world is lost to sin,
and love is lost amid the screams

May the Christ...
...storm the gates
...in all
Though the wall grows dark and thick,
and blood pours like milk and honey

May the Christ...
...part the clouds
...in glory
Though world's soul is pale and sick
and reeks of the cult of money

May the Christ...
...touch your eyes
...in a baptism.
Love stronger than the grave,
Dance us all beyond the cave,
Into a light, into a love,
Evermore.
