Best Eastertide Poems

My spiritual umber a-rose
Full in bloom, as in an erupt!
There was the a sweet scent of flora
Too… the frisk, of spring feeling fauna”
I viewed through that verdant screen
From my bough brushed tranquil dene
As all on the Easter time 
golden daffodils silent bell  ringing did,

Eastertide.
A cloud of polished steel hangs over 
The village, hollowed eyed people 
Look up to the sky 
Where is spring this year? 
Like the man on the bridge they can 
take no more.
For Paulo, the old carpenter it was 
all too much, no wine could...

Celebrating Eastertide
Pretty bonnets worn with pride,
Chocolate eggs all wrapped in foil
Paste eggs bubbling, on the boil.

Children making no connection
Between Easter eggs and resurrection,
Dragged to church they sit and giggle
Mothers chiding " don't you fiddle."

Row upon row of well dressed sinners
Thinking about their Sunday dinners.
Numb behinds...

Upon the glen, the sun is born, 
an orb as yellow, as the corn. 
Today upon this blessed morn, 
The veil of death and sin was torn. 

How bitter sweet our faith does lie, 
the son of God we did crucify. 
Yet death our Lord...

Simplicity
   for today
in the light
of His existence.
invisible but liberating

everything
that separates
     man from self
in
a  permanent home
avoiding
abandonment

   discovering
things
forward
  backwards
collections
of
cataclysms
reign forever

dying
 silent
valid

the desire to live
sheltered
from the storms
a
normal existence
intelligence
&a skill
sans
risk
on
this mysterious
path
bitterness
dies

 a way back
for
inhabitants
outside
 of themselves

motionless
a
place of eternity
glimmers
 glimpsed
for a moment
then hidden
but
He is
 still alive
to those
   who
turn back

& confess

 will find Him
&
see the reality
of
      I am
in whom
the new life flows
 to
the reborn

a chance
 of new birth
necessary
for
the living
to
 see the light
