He is risen.
Sing, there is more.

Here is a conversation on the lilies,
comments by a Chinese poet
on a workshop site:
Peter,
The lilies! I can not fathom what
they meant to you,
but together with blood and body,
they seem to be mean something.
Thanks for your poem.

Sharing The Year Long Vigil, Awake--Easter
The empty tomb, surprised Mary, who,
greeted by an angel of illumined white light,
looked for Him.

Desperate, love,
where have you taken Him?
The gardener is asked;
I wonder is the gardener He.

I have met women, who,
today,
wait and go to visit the tomb discovering
He is risen.

These women meet Easter, glory,
third day joy of happiness.
Theirs is vigil, awake.
We share this mystery--love.

Awe.

Apartment On The Third Floor
Hot, heat, hot
they tell me.
The man who
lived here before
says hawks live
in the trees.
Friends.
This apartment,
top, third floor
one among
hawks who build
nests,
has sun.

“Painting has always been associated with the life of the Church. From the time of the Catacombs it has been used in ecclesiastical ornamentation, and for centuries after Constantine, religious art was the only form of living art in the Christian world.”
