From Death To Life

FROM DEATH TO LIFE

HIS FLESH

circumference of thorns
holes in hands ~  those healing palms
feet fastened – nail chains

HIS WORDS

Father forgive them
for they know not what they do
(And) It is finished

HIS DEATH

violent earthquake
up from the grave ~ walking dead
wind-sheered curtain splits

THREE DAYS

abysmal weeping
terrified person denies
the cock crows three times

EASTER SUNDAY

empty gaping hole
world’s paying attention now
dawning of new day

EVERY DAY

spurs our hearts and souls
salvation’s glorious hope
King of kings ~ all bow
