Kneeling at the rail
the altar festooned
overflowing, the bright flowers of spring
a stone, rock, to remember,
the crown of thorns still on the cross
Words of praise, of joy,
an invocation, calling him into our midst
Feeling the presence of Christ
here in the sanctuary
walking into our worship
sitting with me,
raising his voice
in those of the pastors
Calling us from winter’s slumber
Easter people, smiling
Joy in the morning
He is risen, and with us this day
