Early morning, an Easter poem
Alleluia!
The Resurrection of God-come-to-as-us-one-of-us–
Jesus!–
can only be
the Declaration:
no one else has to die–
not
one–
to right the world,
humanity is healed,
true Light will always
scatter the darkness,
the Proclamation:
self-preservation is wholly unnecessary because the Holy One
never saw corruption,
entrusting instead of defending,
the Announcement:
there is no King but Christ,
making many nations one
multi-lingual people of Redemption, answering to no State
but Love,
in Word, Spirit, Divinity,
the Hope:
humanity destined
for divination,
Creation-cosmos, restored at last!
Angels sing with
Sons of Adam
and Daughters of Eve,
–as we weep from relief,
falling into the eternal rest
of mercy and grace–
Jesus Christ, our Lord and our God!
To know you and
to be known
by you
is to find you
All in All,
forever and without end.
Alleluia!
