Who Are We

Suddenly out of the black swamp a gush of green
Miraculously before the eyes a flush of white
You are the resurrection, I am the dead, clean
Skin coming to earth again, the showers of delight
Can wash this fate away
Man and flowers, only clay.

I praise your birth, you will fragrant my death
I shall be your earth, you speak to my hope
A picture of the soul on starry wings of breath
Your white petals praying bottom of the slope
Bright as faith in a child’s eyes
Out of Easter mud – a glimpse of paradise

Three perspective of mud upon my questions rest
Hierarchies of desire in Pilate’s hall of selfishness.

Yes, Pilatewas selfish but it was His own people that wanted him crucified... all in phophecy because mankind is with sin and evil, he was the One, Alpha and Omega, and has risen once from death to life, He will come again! Gosh, I sure hope I am doin' the right thing... Loved the poem! excellently written I might add, :) Lucinda
