--- Title: even Easter morning Tags: [poetry] Date: 2016-03-27 11:50 Subtitle: A Resurrection Sunday meditation Summary: | The ways we carry on in this modern world / do at times perplex me / for we are not, or not especially, / mindful of the world around us ... | The ways we carry on in this modern world | do at times perplex me | for we are not, or not especially, | mindful of the world around us. | | It is charged, they say, charged with wonder, | and I suppose it must be | for this is a world where God became a man, | and died, and lived again | | But every day seems a day like another, | even Easter morning | Because we do still live in the time | between the times: | | Christ is risen! | ---and we still die, and mourn | (but not without hope)--- | Christ will come again! | | And this is why we meet | this is why we sing | and tell each other again | the old story, as if new | | So that on gray days like every other | even Easter morning | We remember, though still in the time | between the times: | | Christ is risen! | ---and we will live, and dance | (when we see our hope)--- | Christ will come again!
