Life!

That is what the Resurrection
is all about:
dawn race to the tomb, earthquake,
sun on angels' faces that shout
Rejoice! Praise!

The Lord lives! And always
we live too and loudly call:
Blow your Spirit through, clean
through us. Overturn
these rocks that are our hearts.
Be Emmaus-Jesus and break
daily bread with us. Burn
prophecy-come-true on our
every waking Easter. Surprise
our dulled wits with "Here I am! Don't fear
And eyes - ours - yearn
to fix you, O Risen Lord,
forever fast, forever here.
