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
