Happy Eater! (14 of 14)

 Easter! (2024)
 
Pink-blush hint-of-dawn announces Christ-is-risen!
Empty-tomb! Evil-death defeated! Red sunrise prism!
 
God’s heavenly Angel stationed sentinel at the vacant chasm
Christ is risen! Alleluia! Alleluia!” A winged Truth-fantasm
 
His Father Authority gifted them an Honor-respect of life
Jesus’ Love! Miracles! Salvation! They offered Him strife
 
He gave sight to the blind! Walk to the lame! Even, life to the dead!
They defiled Him in lie! Scourged and crowned Him! Offered dread!
 
Evil-false condemned to crucifixion Jesus accepted the burden-cross
He fell a “Trinity” of times! Disciple denied Him thrice! Peter’s  loss!
 
Simon of Cyrene took up the cross! Jesus arose challenging sin
Twice more the Lord faltered and fell, each time, got up, again
 
Veronica dared show mercy in wiping sweat and blood from His face
Jesus met His mother-Mary! Spoke to women! He knew their place
 
Evil stole His garments! Thorn-crowned Him “Jesus of Nazareth King of the Jews”
His Faithful followers witnessed, horrified! Secretly, they shared His good news
 
Evil offered Him vinegar for drink, spear-pierced His heart through the side
As I conjure this evil in a Christian mind it is difficult for spirit to just abide
 
Among a Trinity-of-crosses one thief gains Salvation through Faith declaration
This day thou shall be with Me in heaven!” A clear reward at life-demarcation!
 
Father! Forgive them for they know not what they do!” Perfect Love!
Even in Christ’s tortured agony He still offers God Honor above
 
Eloi! Eloi! Lama Sabachthani!Jesus words of desperation in the end
My God! My God! Why hast thou forsaken Me?” Let the covenant begin
 
They took His lifeless body from the cross and laid Him in a borrowed tomb
Mary’s despair-tears fell upon the earth to sprout flowers-fragrance consume
 
Jesus fulfilled the Scriptures offering holy Salvation for thee and me
All we have to do to claim the reward is Honor Faith and humble be
 
Happy Easter!---Christ is risen!...Alleluia! Alleluia!


14.   Jesus is laid in the tomb
 
Non-materialistic even in My ending I am interred in a “borrowed” tomb!
 
Is it not enough? I have been---and am and…on the ’morrow-dawn may even future be?
 
What? Worthy legacy might ride soft winds or chart ocean waves to rest upon a sand beach?
A “Good” Man? Perhaps? But by what lofty judge? Prejudiced? Or, not so? Ethical? Moral?
Kind? Considerate? Patient? Generous? Thankful? Pleasant thought, word and deed? Hmm?
 
Maybe? It be enough for me to know that you share a love for baseball? God’s own game!
 
Indeed! A pleasant enough consideration too good for mortal man who must engage in faux-celebrity in trying to dominate Deity contemplation. Rules! Lines! Limitations! Chances! Best!
 
Good enough is absent focused-effort!
Better ignites holy-sacred ambition!
Best forever celebrates Supreme-success!
 
Life! like Love! I won by Appreciation born of simply getting to participate in the endeavor! I “Win by embracing an adventure of the exercise! How special! How simple! How sweet! Amen!
 
Fear-not! Follow-Me! For I am with thee all the days of thy life! Amen!
 
Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!---Christ is risen!...Alleluia! Alleluia!
