Resurrection

I rise from deep within the earth
out of pressured lavas

I rise above the level into
breathable realms

I rise following the risen
He who set my path and
monitors my lift lovingly
tenderly, yet such pinions
given of steeliness unpluckable

I rise for the grace of the Father,
for the loving sacrifice of the Son,
for the Spirit, all Powerful, Ever-present,

All Knowing – I rise from man's mental
coma...from delirium of his lesser ego,
from estrangement of his physical-obstinance;
climbing higher, into loftier, far brighter reality
of being...

cleanly exalted, my consciousness purified – 

I rise on frequencies of heavenly choirs...
throngs of worshiping angels welcoming, wings
fanning my once fuming soul – all the while
singing Praise to Christ, man's Conqueror Lord:

The slayer of Death; the Subduer of devils
and their throngs of whispering, shouting,
deafening demons; 
                   
I rise from out under the Master Liar...jealous possessor,
once Arc of God's Most beloved till Fallen...

I rise on a divine swell of compassion and forgiveness – 

carried yet higher, on upward, surging tide of greater purification,
resurrected with Divine momentum...a soaring sea of expanding 
spiritual freedom...

It is Easter, 

as The Risen One anointed, so shall we follow
and rise! 

“Glory to God
in His Highest!”

Hi Joe; only my opinion...the good, the bad, and the ugly -- God is all merciful and loving...this earth, the ground we walk upon along with the air we breath, is a reflection of our present spiritual development. If we had what was entirely where our hearts are, there would be no beauty. We have an awesome God!!
