Easter

Sleepless nights
Memories of denial thrice
Dinners remembering the bread and wine
When one among them betrayed the Divine
What did His words “It is finished” convey?
Or his assurance He’d return on the “Day”?
How could they drink once again with their King?
When He’d tasted the bitter taste of death’s sting?
He said they were given a particular “sign”
The temple destroyed would be raised by design
Three days in death’s prison
Proclaim “He is risen!”

    Nice! I didn’t know you were into poetry.

      I used to write poetry and short stories as a child. It was a childhood dream of mine to be a poet and author. When I first met Anna, I used to write her one poem per day… then we adopted the boys :) It’s been a while.

  2. Thank you for a beautiful poem, Scott. Keep faith — There are good things ahead for you and your family.
