Presence of Easter
Coming upon the Easter sunrise
there comes a secret spirit
a home, more stable, than the month before
snuggled deep in the heart of the springtime grass
It is more than the chocolate and pastel eggs
or a breakfast of waffles on a bright Sunday morning
More than a dress, or a new pair of shoes
or voices in church singing "...Alleuhia"
Even more than a ball game, in a big front yard
and cars driving up the long driveway
Three families
three cars
children piling out
noise and laughter, ham, baskets, smiles, and hugs
gratitude and joy
'Christ The Lord Has Risen Today'...and again, again, and again...
although, it is evident that the spirit.....
has never been far
away
