He Is Risen Indeed

                                                                                                                 

Spring winds murmuring,                                                          

Emerald grass marshaling,

Glad birdsong twittering,  

All flowers glimmering.

Rise to a rumor given:

"Fear not, for He is risen."

Creation awaiting with bated breath

The Power that conquered cowardly death.

A slab of granite rolls aside --

Dazzling light bursts from inside -- 

Easter morning dawns.

"Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds?  Look at my hands and my feet.  It is I myself!  Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have."

Luke 24:38-39
