An Easter Prayer

An Easter Prayer
(Esoteric Meaning of Christmas)

Let not the sun rise so high
that I may never again reach
its light -- 

nor set so low
that my spirit now resides
in darkness, irretrievable

but let me dwell peacefully,
balanced, in a new body of humanity,
a purified vessel, that of the risen Christ
– live outright redeemed,
one with God and His good 
angels, 
ever loving.

Joe Maverick January 23, 2024 at 1:53 PM Reads about right...This write. Go Joe.! Joseph P. DiMino February 17, 2024 at 1:11 PM Hi Joe; thank you my friend. Blessings!

Valsa George December 25, 2023 at 7:50 PM The middle course is the best suited stance... not too high or low..... with a kind of peaceful balancing to become ultimately a 'purified vessel' like the risen Christ. Your poem emphasizes the need for a renewal in spirit. Very deep dear Joe. Joseph P. DiMino December 26, 2023 at 8:17 AM I find that the middle, balance, is my place in time, for I cannot reach nor comprehend the perfect, nor could I thrive in the depths of complete despair, isolated from my moderate sense of goodness. I survive and prosper only by the Loving Grace of God.

Unseeking Seeker December 25, 2023 at 5:18 PM so deep and childlike prayerful Joseph P. DiMino December 26, 2023 at 8:20 AM Life is far more complicated than most of us can image...and yet, so simple that a child can liken to its mystery.

A FAVE for your reverent words dwelling in faith. Much depth you convey in these verses of prayer, my friend. Joseph P. DiMino December 26, 2023 at 8:22 AM You made my day, Vijay. Blessings!
