Well, this Easter was a sober one for me. There was more of introspection than feasting as I pondered the wonder that the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is.
That Jesus Christ’s Chamber Of Rapture (A Poem)
If you are still picking your teeth after the long Easter break or still sluggishly going about your duties, now is the time for you to get up, stand up and get busy – without losing the spirit of sacrifice that this season stands for.

If, like me, the import of Jesus’ death and ultimate sacrifice is not lost on you, then enjoy this poem and please remember to share...
Chamber Of Rapture
none asks the seed's will

before sowing-internment
yet, after the tilling wheel
'tis doomed to grave tent
under granular blanket
of humus and moisture
ADVERTISEMENT
there, the seed's casket
turns chamber of rapture
the rot of a buried seed
is unto death - we reason
but Death must Life cede
ADVERTISEMENT
...a gangly stalk is risen!
who shall deny this wonder
of life milked from the tomb
that a man could wander
in... and turn grave to womb!
