Risen


~*~
 
And so the sun rises
 
Again
 
As it always has
 
As it always will...
 
...The night has had its say
 
And we listened patiently
(and not so patiently)
 
for The Lesson.
 
Duly noted, Nocturne.
 
But Now
 
It's Time
 
To bid adieu the darkness
 
To take hold the reins of Hope
 
To Move On,
 
To Lift our eyes
 
To See what's set Before us,
 
And with the Son,
 
To Rise.

But Joy comes in the morning."

Gethsemane



*

Anguished soul
bent low
and bare
with the crushing weight of
The End

my view of Beginning
(or anything Beyond)
obscured by this cross
which is,
of course,
a door,
as crosses always are

but now,
for now,
tears turn myopic
all vision of morning

and with You

I weep

in Gethsemane

The Occasion.....

 
 
***
 
They do Still happen
And if you're Looking Up
you see
Do-overs
and
Double rainbows...
Broken seeds 
 
become saplings
the Stuff of beginnings
And the Someday that seemed so faraway
Suddenly becomes
 
Today
Redemption
and
Re-Creation
 
Another step,
Another night
defers to
First Light
Zoom out wide enough
to hold the Song
to hold the Day
and Rise
 
to The Occasion...
