Resurrection

Resurrection
By Jonathan Bennett


And in a moment, all was joy again.
The conquered Sun emerged, resurrected,
From the tomb vanquished to by old foe Night.
And the grass felt His footprints upon them,
And the flowers felt His gentle caress,
And the birds awoke in their high refuge
To announce in song to a sleeping earth:
Darkness and her armies are defeated,
Wake up! Wake up! the Light has come again.
