Short Paschal Poems

Here's a tale of a Rogue Rabbit,
Met a hoodie paschal hermit,
She overcame all her fears,
She munched him, from toes to ears,
Ate the lot, begone, foul furry git!...

Earth slowly brings new light from night
Turning to face the day
Orchid sky reflects upon still water
Sparkling water gems
Birds wake calling softly 
As new day is born
Rising sun gives joy to Rising son
This Paschal morning
Bringing hope to a faithless world…....

White lilies trumpet
star-shaped shouts
of praise
that pierce the prison
of the grave.
Yet my mood is far 
from risen—
This earth seems so 
un-saved.
My heart is barbed 
with thorns;
the doctors say
they’re veins.
Then arteries 
are vines,  
vines with thorns,
I say.

Immersed in His Paschal Mystery
our Original Sin is --history!

Divine Power comes forth from His Heart
Giving sanctification a start

Now alive in Christ, but dead to sin
'cause death no longer has dominion!

Listen to poem:

With so many innocent lambs in this world, 
        it makes it so easy for the wolves to devour

        of the Pesach L’Atid Lavoh in their final hour

If there is anything in this world I have learnt,
              is we take innocence to feed an evil God

Under the pretence we will all be free,
     and under God’s banner, we will not be forgot

The Christ descended from His Father’s throne;
In dying on the cross, He conquered Hell.
Then He rolled away His sepulchral stone;
The sting of death would no longer prevail.
A glorious word of good news to tell!
His disciples worshipped in prostration
As they prepared in humble elation
To spread news of the resurrected King
Who paid the price of mankind’s salvation;
A new song all of creation will sing!...
