Easter

The Easter night sky
	is set afire with the sun.

A brilliant glowing ball of light creamsickle orange
	burning and pulsating
	as it sets forth hues of color,
yellow gold with shades of amber,
while above a threatening dark
	paints grainy purples and blues,
	casting a wind north to east
	and high above into the atmosphere.

Chilled Easter Sunday arrives
	with dull, calm, early cold start to day
	then warm, bright and sunny midday, noon
	that overshadows tempest 
        twilight evening tide.

It is the aftermath of promises 
      made and given long ago 
      that demand persistence, love and dedication
       of all followers and believers
in life everlasting
	hopes and dreams of resurrection
	by those imbibed with faith
	in every celebrated reverence of
Easter Sunday.
