Here is a poem I wrote for Easter a number of years ago. I hope you enjoy it, and I wish you a very happy Easter!
“EASTER” – by Ray Fowler
Weave a crown of thorns; spit on love incarnate;
Stretch his flesh against the splintered surface and
Strike the nail’s head. Crushed for our sins,
The Savior breathes ever slower.Breath of Spirit pierces the tomb’s dark chamber;
Blinding flash illumines the corpse now rising,
Standing, dancing, joyfully living love for
Those who had slain him.

I didn’t know you wrote poetry. Appreciated the Easter poem, (even read the technical notes following!) It is so hard to imagine what our Saviour went through for us, and so awesome to think of the resurrection. The hymn that most lifted my spirits on Easter morning was the Gaither hymn “Because He lives”. Triumph and joy!
