Love Shines a Light
On the day our eyes open to the prism of the sun
Winter solitude would be gone
The avalanche of differences melts into nothingness
Through the same breath, through the same soul
We would live again as one, no matter who we are
No matter the colour of our skin, gay or straight
rich or poor, innocent or once condemned guilty.
No matter if we are lawyers or peasants
No matter what our political believes, nor our different religions.
A Catholic, a muslim, a Buddhist, hinduist, or a jew.
On that day We would all wear identical dresses
We would all be the significant other, because He died.
He died for all .Jesus died for Peter, John and Judah
For Lazarus and Maria Magdalene. He died for them
For him, for her,for me, and even for you.
He gave the dripping of his blood , and painful cry
for each and every name, engraved on His father's palm.
He was born to die, but its not His death that We celebrate
We celebrate His life, because We believe in life
We celebrate His forgivness, because We experienced
the beauty of forgivness , and the return of blissful joy.
We celebrate the gift of love, because love He bestowed .
He was born to die, but He was born to rise.
Upon death He has risen, through his death We survived.
Because of who He is, in the labyrinth of our night
there will always be the flicker of a candle
that fills our heart with hope and light.
