feels like Presence

good morning Lord

it is a good morning

because

You Are

church bells sound

all over the world

for us to hear

loud and clear

the air is fresh

feels like

Presence

hope is emerging

surging

yet

so much we don't understand

about loved ones lost

about life, disease, death

the natural and unnatural

course of things

but what is true

rings every bell

You

emerged

alive

now You gladly

joyously

turn on the sunlight

over the winter wetlands

soon the green shoots

will soar past the gray

the birchbark will light up

birds will swoop and sing

a blue patch of sky

opens up wide

around the clouds—

a smile from the upper reaches

so

we can live freely

in deep rooted joy

knowing there is ultimate

infinite

Life

God

because of You

the blue

is above

always above the gray

and today

it is

breaking through

the light shines in the darkness

in our living room

our classroom

our hospital room

our dorm room

our prayer closet

our street corner

our beating heart

and the darkness

has not

will not

cannot

overcome it

You have made it so

and

so it is

Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:9-11
