Easter Morning
Virginia Salter

it’s Easter morning
night is still black
darkness prevails
over this piece of earth
over this time to celebrate
at the rising of the sun
the Risen Son

it’s almost time to laud
the stone’s rolling away
the empty tomb
the glorious sun-filled day
so long ago
when darkness
was swallowed up with light
when Love awakened
His promise

what shall this day bring
what shall it enfold
will evidence be clear
He’s the One to behold
how many shall find the Light
as a Beacon in the storm
how many shall find the Son
through Whom for them Love was born
