Resurrection surely is in all things
in a relative manner of speaking,
for every moment in its passing brings
about transformation, with the past breaking
as surely as the glorious Easter rising.
Our consideration of time discerns
a movement irrevocable, replenishing
our concept of the future, no returns
but all things new, from all things finishing
as surely as the glorious Easter rising.
Not so to the mind-set of our endowment
that seizes time’s sphere, backward engaging,
the future stylised in foreseen event,
death’s finality – only faith assuaging
as surely as the glorious Easter rising.
