Resurrected

Enclosed in eggshell darkness trembles the earth aghast mouth of rocks cracked sighing veil of temple ripped up tempest of fear has scattered wavering faith of disciples few by the cross stayed crying with Mary His Virgin our mother torching flames in dry fields demons dancing in glee with screeches and howls claim victory over Christ Who has died so they think eggshell cracks up third day splendor of Risen lights up heaven and earth and disciples who return with Him to sup rejoice lovers of love sing spring birds a new song ring bells of the sky angels with trumpet and lyre rejoice for truly He is risen His blood our sins has forgiven all believers united rejoice with His Father has united us in love and the Spirit in the glory of their joy First Place Winner: Brian Strand-Your Choice N -4/13/25 Tenth Place Winner: Regina McIntosh-Easter-3/25/24 Second Place: Regina McIntosh-Easter Contest-4/8/23
