An Easter Greeting

AN EASTER GREETING

Were one to dwell
On nature’s complexity – 
The Earth
The Galaxies
The Universe
That soul might increase man’s knowledge

Take a pretty flower
Examine every fiber
Classify the root
And with our modern technology
Somehow benefit the here-and-now –
Better health
Longer life
A few happy hours
Victory through complexity!

But life’s main ingredient
Said Jesus Christ
Is LOVE
Least complex of nature’s qualities
Which merely says
“Come unto me”
In walking    breathing faith
Leave the probers to their grasping, mental
      days and ways
“Come unto me”
In walking    breathing faith
And all will be simplicity

Happy Easter
With love

Dave Austin
