Easter

Light Fell Down

by Tamara J. Wanner

Light fell down from heaven

Chose emptied glory

Encased in human form

Light fell down from heaven

Grew up among the common

Shaped wooden tables

Light fell down from heaven

Marred by flogging and scorn

Crowned with woven thorns

Light fell down from heaven

Erased the veil

Swallowed darkness

Light fell down from heaven

Unlocked the door

Redeemed the slaves

Light fell down from heaven

Buried under stone

Restored humanity

Light fell down from heaven

Thundered upward

Resurrected change
