Christ is Risen! Happy Easter from Mile High Ministries, and for reflection, we offer these uplifting lines from Lucille Clifton:

“spring song”

the green of Jesus

is breaking the ground

and the sweet

smell of delicious Jesus

is opening the house and

the dance of Jesus music

has hold of the air and

the world is turning

in the body of Jesus and

the future is possible

Lucille Clifton’s poetry spoke deeply about struggle and hope, from her experience as a Black woman in the United States. She received the Robert Frost Medal for lifetime achievement and was twice a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize.
