From one Easter to another

I am the way, I heard
Here is the map
Crumbled and blurry
I folded it

I am the light, I heard
Turned toward the Sun
Blinded and dizzy
I missed it

I am the truth, I heard
Exploring the words
Rehearsing and reciting
I forgot it

I am the silence, I learned
When I began to sit
Breathing and accepting
I heard it

I am the breath, I learned
When I counted the seconds
Inhaling and releasing
I felt it

I am the lamb, I learned
When I opened up
Speaking and trusting
I risked it

Come, enjoy it
In being and spirit
I am infinite
I am sublime
Found in the fullness of time

The way, the light, the truth
Pointing toward the root
An old tree with leaves
That first covered shame

A new growth of branches
Healing for nations again
Silence, breath, and a lamb
They are the friends you find
In the shade of the tree
Eternally whispering
I am
