Easter Sunday (2021)

Easter Sunday (2021)

Up early

Received a song

In my native tongue 

From a foreign land

A child’s hallelujah 

Had me drowning in tears

Why I don’t even 

Really understand

Early awakened 

Clearly shaken 

I opened up the hollow 

Of Easter morning 

By noon 

I’m back under covers

Emotions on a holy day

Affect without warning 

Hiding in

The beat of memories 

Of music videos 

From a century past

With each refrain 

I experience pain

Wondering how much longer

I am going to last

Not that it matters 

I believe I’ve made my peace

For whatever that

May be worth 

It’s as clear

As this foggy day

That I’m nearer my death 

Than I am to my birth 

I’ve soared

And I’ve fallen 

But I’ve answered my call

And done what I can to heal

All things

Come to an end

So I ask you my friend 

Is it power

Or is it love

That is real
