Easter Poem

another week closer to Easter


the clouds weigh heavy

no longer equipped

to contain

their load



unzipped they splatter

everywhere

the dribble now a torrent

an overflow

a waterfall

a cascade



the waters gather

with purpose

seeking low

& lower

& lowest



to follow i listen

down deeper

another week deeper in

closer to grave

to tomb

seeking low

& lower

& lowest



sin unbuckled

rampantly

devoured His body

until He said

Done!



He gives it away

the blood now a stream

flowing over us

cleansing

purifying

sanctifying



the worshipers gather

with purpose

seeking low

& lower

& lowest

at the foot of the cross



a brilliant trade

a miracle

a death

for a life

a flash flood of Grace



another week closer

to Easter
