good morning Lord!
it is a good morning
because you ARE
bells are rung all over the world.
in every church
for us to hear
loud and clear
We have hope.
the air is fresh--
feels like
Presence.
so much i don't understand
about loved ones lost
about life, disease, death,
the natural course of things.
but what is true rings every bell
YOU
EMERGED
ALIVE
now you gladly
gleefully
turn on the sunlight
over the winter wetlands
soon the green shoots will soar past the gray.
the birchbark will light up
the birds will swoop and sing
a blue patch of sky opens up wide
around the clouds--
a smile from the upper reaches.
So
we can live freely in deep rooted joy
knowing there is infinite life
beyond what we thought to be
a closed gray system.
the blue is above
always above
the gray
and today
it is breaking through.
the light shines in the darkness;
the darkness
has not
will not
can not
overcome it.
