passion day 7 (caelum)


and then
it's here
promises kept
hope restored
death into life
lillies and eggs
bunnies and goodwill
to all men...

and there's
redemption in the air
it's palpable and thick
here for the taking
the sack cloth is cast off
the mourning is turned into dancing
(two left feet)
the bell tolls
hearts leap
all is well
all is right
and it is truly new
every morning
every first cup of coffee
everytime i look in the mirror
see your face
your peace and
go and tell peter
you are better than anyone
at simple touches
that heal.
that mend broken.
lives broken.
hearts and it is we who should seek.
you are fast on our heels.
breath.right behind.
arms for the embrace we finally.stop.
and bow.
fall.
at your perfect feet
swear our loyalty
and you ask for our heart
our valentines
our little childs soul
we rest and
we rejoice
you are risen...and so we rise.

benedictus qui venit in nomine domini.
blessed is he who comes in the name of the lord.
amen.
