Resurrection

When there is a sunrise
after a long dark night
When a caterpillar becomes
a butterfly

When a bulb
blossoms
When an acorn
sprouts

When the valley
in your life
becomes
a mountain top

When rejection turns into
acceptance
When a “homeless” becomes
a person

When love conquers
hate
When forgiveness
dissolves a grudge

When education
brings enlightenment
When humor resolves
an argument

When diversity is seen
as a blessing
When the self loses itself
In the common good

When an oppressed culture
finds equality
When an individualist
experiences solidarity

When your soul
becomes alive
by Someone else’s
sacrifice
