A-Poem-a-Day Until Resurrection Day
Happy Resurrection Day!
I am featuring two poems today...
RISEN
It’s Holy
Saturday
Dough is
rising
on the
kitchen counter
filling me
with thoughts
of rising
helium
balloons
set free
sunrise
over the
Sea of Galilee
waking up
rising
soap
bubbles
floating
skyward
seagulls
soaring
fireworks
booming
and bursting
jet planes
at take-off
rocket
ships
with long
trails of fire
zooming to
the moon
O, but
nothing
nowhere
and no one
has ever
done it
or will
…like
Jesus

HE IS NOT HERE
Israel
Pilgrimage--2006
Some believe
the Body of
Messiah was placed
in the highly
venerated
tomb located
in the Church
of the Holy Sepulcher
Some believe
He was buried
in a pastoral
place
known as the
Garden Tomb
The important
thing is—
He died. He
rose.
He’ll come
again.
The important
thing is
as a placard
proclaims
at the
entrance
to the Garden
Tomb:
He is not here—
For He is risen
and the
important thing is
our sins are
atoned—
We live
because He lives
so, let’s
celebrate
that He was
here—
but is not!
Hallelujah!
Praise be to Jesus, Our Risen Savior!
