Easter Bunny and Eggs: Tercets

Image
  Easter Bunny and Eggs: Tercets A bunny soft, with eggs so bright, New life is here, a fresh restart, Forgive the past, and hold on tight. From darkness comes a hopeful sight, A brand new chance to play our part, Forgive the past, and hold on tight. Let go of shadows, day and night, A gentle love within the heart, Forgive the past, and hold on tight. This Easter day, with all our might, We rise above, a brand new start, Says bunny soft, with eggs so bright,

Find meaning in suffering to redeem like Christ: A poem

Image
 Find meaning in suffering to redeem like Christ: A poem A shadow falls, a bitter sting, Grief's cold hand, a loss takes wing. Suffering walks, a constant friend, Till journey's close, to life's end. It tests our will, it bends our knee, A crucible of what we'll be. Response we choose, in darkest night, To rise above, and find the light. For cause embraced, a noble stand, Death faced with love, a helping hand. Humanity's call, a spirit bright, Redemption blooms, dispelling night. Like Christ's own cross, a path so steep, Liberation found, in sorrow deep. Meaning emerges, strong and true, Suffering's gift, to see us through.

Overcoming Death's Dread by Rising Again: An Easter Poem

 Overcoming Death's Dread by Rising Again: An Easter Poem Be gentle, low, and pure of heart, Dying to the past, a brand new start. Our wrongs and failings, dark and deep, He bore them all, so we could leap. He rose again, a light so bright, Let's remake ourselves, with all our might. Cleanse your mind, from shadows deep, Pray, fast, reflect, your promise keep. Cleanse your senses, and what you crave, From greed and rage, the power save. From laziness and mournful sighs, From showing off, and haughty lies. Be loving, no strings tied, Let resurrection be your guide. Let Christ within, now brightly shine, A new you born, truly divine. Live simply, let your spirit soar, Reflect in silence, evermore. Be loving, no strings tied, A brand new you, with grace inside.

Curifixion of Jesus: A Poem

Image
 Curifixion of Jesus: A Poem A hammer's blow, a cruel, hard nail, He hangs in pain, a bitter trail. "Forgive them, Father," whispers low, "They do not know, they do not know." Blind hands that strike, with hearts of stone, Their fear is loud, their judgment shown. They see a threat, a rebel's plea, But not the truth, so plain to see. Too quick to judge, too slow to feel, The wounds they make, will never heal. Unaware of the debt they sow, They do not know, they do not know.

Good Friday Quatrains

Image
  Good Friday Quatrains  Dark flaws we embrace, Hide the Self's pure face. Good Friday is here, A fresh start, hold dear. Rituals can blind, Leave externals behind. Lost spirit's deep call, The truest sin of all. Forgiveness takes flight, Toward living what's right. Serve with open hand, In every life, expand. Find peace in the still, Love's endless refill. Christ's Sabbath of rest, Love puts us to the test. A vigil's bright gleam, Darkness fades like a dream. Jesus, light so bright, Saves souls bathed in right. Change starts from within, New strength will then begin. A changed heart takes hold, A world, anew, unfolds.
