the Son rose

from behind the wheel, through the windshield

just over the trees
 streaks of
    pinks
        yellows
            reds
                purples
mixing with the deep dark hues of night
the day breaks
   the sun rises
another gift received and shared

I descend the mountain
stars wink a good night to the world
        at least for a few hours

the unwavering transition is upon us
God reveals the beauty of a new day

     i am reminded of the breath I take
        have revealed the gifts of life
           so many things taken for granted

    but the sun rises
      everything is reoriented
        perspective is back

as the story of the day is written
   i can’t help but remember

there was One who rose
out of the darkness of death
    the gift of life was given
three days nights were shattered
    colors burst forth
        light splintered darkness
            love arose
                and the world was forever changed

the Son rose...love won

    always...

        love wins...

it happens every day

     ...if we but take notice
