J Nebula and Visions of Mary For Easter

I took my dog across a brook one Easter day He lapped at the water's edge, then ran off to play The sun's warmth revived me as I threw back my hood Cloud burst overhead made the brook into a flood My dog returned and I said hurriedly "Come on". We then sheltered together until the sun shone What happened next is a mystery to this day Mist covered my eyes in a fog how, I could not say Then I saw Jesus holding out his hand to me Smiling so serenely why, how could it be? Then Mary, Jesus's mother came into view In shimmering raiment, a kiss to me she blew Tears of joyous hope cascaded down my face As I stood amazed, charged with spiritual grace How long I stayed motionless, as did my dog Checking my watch, it was an hour since the white fog Though it seemed only a few minutes or so My dog's bark brought reality again to show.

It is written as if it really happened!! Good entry for that contest. It IS fictionalized, right? In any event, makes for a splendid poem.
