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.
