Happy Easter, friends

Because he is risen

Spring is possible

In all the cold hard places

Gripped by winter

And freedom jumps the queue

To take fear’s place

as our focus

Because he is risen

Because he is risen

My future is an epic novel

Where once it was a mere short story

My contract on life is renewed

in perpetuity

My options are open-ended

My travel plans are cosmic

Because he is risen

Because he is risen

Healing is on order and assured

And every disability will bow

Before the endless dance of his ability

And my grave too will open

When my life is restored

For this frail and fragile body

Will not be the final word

on my condition

Because he is risen

..

Because he is risen

And because he is risen

A fire burns in my bones

And my eyes see possibilities

And my heart hears hope

Like a whisper on the wind

And the song that rises in me

Will not be silenced

As life disrupts

This shadowed place of death

Like a butterfly under the skin

And death itself

Runs terrified to hide

Because he is risen

...and because He is risen, I am able to travel with Him
in my open-ended journey
with salvation and eternity rewarded

You chose to die so that I may live.
