Isaiah 60

Something is happening.
It's like the flash and
glare of light
in Jacob Boehme's
pewter dish.
It's like the sudden
petal shower
from Normandy's precious Rose.
It's like the awesome
awakening of the Child
in the arms of the
Skeleton at Greccio.
It's like Damien
transfigured and returned
to the Emerald Forest.
It's the reproach of
seven years lifted.
It's the end of the
blood soaked sheets.
It's the rider espoused
and the pale horse fed.
It's the Light in the
darkness.
It's the nations streaming
to the outcasts.
It's the empty tomb.
