Poem
"The meek and the humble will be elevated to places where the haughty can never ascend even with a ladder. Stay humble in victory and calm in defeat"- by poet far away in ancient Jerusalem, stood a garden, long, long ago home to giant oaks and figs and plants and shrubs of every kind on every season, from time to time, merrily they would burst into bloom filling the air with fragrance sweet and fueling the hearts with joy and cheer amid the riot of flashing shades where Poppies and Pansies held their heads in a corner, there a Lily stood, sans scent and sans grandeur. a poor loner never once noticed, nor skilled to steal the show, those brilliant in shade and shape with contempt openly quipped ‘it’s such a shame she grows among us with such pallid shade and nothing to rave’, ‘Lilies are such lazy lot, giving only seasonal blooms’ rang aloud their haughty comments rashly blurted out and blunt the poor Lily wilted in shame wishing she had never been born. late that evening, through the garden into the newly dug up grave a band of people came with lights bearing someone cut and scathed. with blood oozing, drop by drop from wounds, left by piercing nails the body, carefully wrapped in linen was the body of Jesus - Son of God the one who bore the sins of the world and courted the most accursed of deaths the body embalmed was laid inside and sealed with a giant block of stone soldiers posted to guard the tomb and every vigil so prudently kept. early by dawn, three days hence, while it was still very dark from inside the tomb came rumbling sounds and a blinding light. flowers en masse blinked their eyes, beheld a man, gently walking out the wounds still fresh on his palm and the linen that swaddled, lying behind. as they watched this strange sight in awful amazement, they did see a host of Lilies white as snow, far more beautiful than any of them bowing their heads in reverential glee and singing Hosanna to the Lord of Life! the flora in silent shock sighted from whence the Lilies came they sprang unforeseen in those spots, where drops of blood from his body fell then onward, without fail, April sees the grandeur and grace, of snowy lilies - those delicate blooms, sprouting suddenly from the crust of the Earth joggling their heads in whiffing breeze, and giving delight to all who behold Placed Second March. 25.2022 Easter Poetry Contest Sponsor – Regina McIntosh
