Resurrected

Enveloped in eggshell darkness trembles all earth aghast mouth of rocks cracked sighing veil of temple ripped up tempest has scattered disciples wavering in faith to flee few by the cross have remained weeping with our Mother to be. Torches of flames in dry fields demons dancing in glee with screeches and howls claim victory over the One using injustice they killed. Eggshell cracks third day splendor of Risen lights up heaven earth and the minds of disciples who return to drink and to sup with Him. Rejoice lovers of love sing love birds a new song ring bells of the sky Angels with trumpet and lyre rejoice he is truly risen by His blood our sins are forgiven family of believers rejoice with His Father He has united us in love and the Spirit in joy of His glory forever.
