Easter

Wisteria entwined the temple,

And the bell

A voice rang across the mountains

Easy and free.

And waiting for Christ

And Sundays

A bright star twinkled

In the spring night.

In an unknown language

The service was read,

And we are far from home

And in a foreign land -

Here we are, under the weight of the day

Shoulders hunched,

We stand, involved in the fire,

And we hold candles.

And let us not know the words of prayers

And the songs here,

We will say to each other:

“Christ is Risen!”
