Enrapture

The light rises

Over the city of the dead

This beautiful morning

There is such joy ahead

For one breathtaking moment

I saw what was always unsaid

That I would see you

Instead of just being in my head

Time has no meaning

And rules have become unbent

I can see you so clearly

As if it was always meant

The trick is believing

Understanding your grieving

That love is inherent

To our comprehending

That our sisters and brothers

Our friends and family

And all our lovers

In this life and the next

Are connected together

The silver threads reaching

Binding and joining

Tying us together

Always and forever

Never split asunder

From each other

Thank you to all those who have responded so kindly to my Easter Series works so far, you give me great joy. I have another for Easter Monday…and possibly a bonus if I can get it together. After that I shall be getting back to you and looking at all your beautiful work.

All my heartfelt warm wishes for this Easter Day to all my Followers and those who have viewed, commented and faved. May you always find peace in your soul.

 

For Easter Day 2023 in my series for this year I have written this work. I spent some time in Ocklynge Cemetery in Eastbourne, East Sussex, UK, in February this year and was overwhelmed by its beauty. It is calling me back already.

 

I have paired this work with U2’s ‘Song For Someone’ because even if you have no faith, you can easily practise the religion of simple compassion. The voices of the dead call for us to remember to be kind to each other.
