Sweet Jesus

On the day our eyes open to the prism of the sun Winter solitude would be gone. The avalanche of differences melts into nothingness. Through the same breath,through the same soul We would live again as one,no matter who we are No matter what the colour of our skin,straight or gay Innocent or once guilty,rich or poor Lawyers,doctors,prisoners,drug victims or peasants. No matter what our politcal believes,nor our different religions. A catholic,a muslim,a buddhist,a hindu or a jew. On that day we would all wear identical dresses We would all be the significant other,because He has died and He has died for all.Jesus died for Peter,John and Judah For lazarus, and Maria Magdalene.Jesus died for me He has died for you,for him,for her,and even for them. He shed his last drop of blood and painful cry for each and every name engraved upon his father's hand-palm. He was born to die,but its not death that we celebrate We celebrate His life,because we believe in life We celebrate His forgivness,because we experienced the beauty of forgivness,the serenity,the return of blissful joy. And we embrace the ever present love Because it is the gift of love that He bestowed on us. Jesus was born to die,but He was born to rise Upon death He Has risen,through His death we survived. Because of Him in the darkness,along the labyrinth of our night There will always be the little flicker of a candle filling our hearts with hope and warming light.
