Easter Morning
Illustrative Painting commissioned by a friend to give to Bishop Donald Hying, September 2015:
Christi, Bishop Hying said that you are always welcome to use the poem in conjunction with the painting and asked me
to tell you how much he loves it. Thanks for everything!
Walking Down a Country Road on the Feast of St. Mary Magdalene
A cacophony of birds sings the light advancing
Orange clouds prophecy the dawn
A forest of corn awakes, dewy-eyed from sleep
Freshly-mowed fields appear labyrinthine in the early light
A blue aura of stillness transfigures the world
A bursting and breathless woman runs down the country road
Her streaming hair caught by the rays of the rising sun
The news spreads like the tongues of Pentecost, setting all on fire
For this moment I live
