Light: A meditation poem for Easter Monday

 A meditation poem for Easter Monday:

Light

Today

I choose

to stand 

in the light 

of the 

Resurrection;

to recognise 

the luminosity

of Divine Presence

at the heart 

of every being;

to see,

to hear,

to touch,

to taste,

the 

eternal alleluia

that exists 

in the centre 

of it all,

perfuming 

all creation

with the 

dew dawn

scent 

of the 

garden

that 

first felt

His quickening,

His blessed breath,

His first footsteps

of return

and trembled 

at His 

healing touch,

consecrating 

Mother earth

again anew

as holy.

Today 

I choose

to recognise

the light of 

that morning's

divine dawn 

in

every sunbeam,

moon beam,

in the glint 

upon 

the water's 

edge,

glitter fire's 

spark

ensouled 

within 

your eye,

in the iridescent 

sheen

of a crow's 

dark clothes 

and the flicker of 

a rainbow 

revealed in 

fish scales 

and finch flight.

Today

I choose 

to live

in the

bright

green field

of His Love,

to walk

in the scarlet tread

of our Fisherking's

steps

finding in you

and in all

I meet

upon the road

the burning

heart,

the broken bread

of presence,

peace,

and ever beginning

Love.

Today,

I choose

to live 

the exultation

of Easter;

to stand 

against 

all that betrays 

the blessing

sung once, 

over and in 

all that is 

in the first 

moment 

of creation,

sung twice 

in the 

moment 

of His

return,

a refrain of 

resurrection

sounding the 

depths,

vibrating in the 

air, 

in birdsong, 

and breeze, 

and breath,

and being,

revealed in His

making, 

and unmaking,

and remaking

of all

as,

Ah,

an Alleluia!
