An Easter Poem, by Cheryl Ellen Baxter
4/4/2010 5:07:56 AM


Still At Work

Your bonds as light as kite string
Were easily broken,

And the confinement of the darkened tomb
Could not contain you now

As your kite form lifted above transparent walls
To defy all,

Your
work, and your Father's work now done...
I suppose you want to rest?...

There you are again working among men you have chosen,
Preparing them, to build their faith and your church ----

So for forty days you let them and others see you.
Don't you want a rest Lord?


....Alas

You've gone to your Father's side.
To relax?

You say, now you'll send the Comforter
And he'll remind me of all that you've said,

And now....
You'll be
at work in the hearts of many more.

When I get weary I rest and when I feel lazy, I relax...

And you're
still at work!

Thank you Cheryl,

That was a thought provoking read.

We really need to remember these things. We so often take things for granted.

I will bring you my poem from last year, it seems appropriate.

Hello Cheryl,

You may remember this poem that I posted last year.

It was one of those moments of iunspiration that just appear.

I think that it compliments your poem well.

His promise

(c) Roger Macdivitt 2009-04-10

Ink flows from my pen

Like blood from his side

My nib is sharp

But not as sharp as the thorns

My loneliness is real but fleeting

His? Total separation

The words on my lips transfer to paper

On His, words, transported to The Father

The lateness of the hour dims and stings my eyes

His, closed and blind – rolling back inside his head

A heavy day indeed

No comparison

I prepare for sleep

He, prepares to die

Tomorrow? I dream of good things to come

His tomorrow? A promise kept

Amen
