I want to hear you
tomorrow
read from the lectern;
hear: alit with candles
burning with life. Gift.
Gospel.
Church is for hearing
the Word.
Spoken and said.

In worship we live
to know the glimpse
of Easter promise.
Eloquent beauty, eternal.
These all are
there, today. Loves
sorrow, ache, reward.
Alive. You.

Easter people, they
call your name.
Revere you; Hallowed Easter.

Easter Arrives
The light lit sung to Exultent -- Christ.
Easter arrives.
The swirling morning colors through windows
bring hallowed light, it does enlarge and
bring us together enlisting life to dry bones.
Easter.

Many pray and know their Bible.
Easter brings people together in promises that are
unknown;
these secret hearts, sacred minutes,
oh, mystery.

In Earthtime we see the lilies gathered, and they are
for us.
Heavenward.

The tomb is empty.
He is risen.
