Was banished by the burning red
And yellow light
God knew
And called it good
Before the waters, deep and dark
Were shaped into that mighty arch,
The firmament
He saw
And called it good
Before He set the stars in place
The galaxies of swirling space
And frozen time
He chose
And called it good
Before He, with His awesome hand
From dust created the first man
And gave him life
He planned
And called it good
He knew the day that He would die
Would suffer and be raised on high
Outstretched against the burning red
And yellow sky
That He had made
He knew for He had planned the day
This Friday
That we call good.
I celebrate Russian Orthodox Easter which is next week. A thoughtful Easter weekend to you!

It's a good time to reflect on the meaning of Easter. Thanks for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful Easter weekend. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, everyone, for your kind comments. Hope you all have a wonderful Easter. :)
ReplyDeleteEveryone thinks of it as a sad day, but without death there could be no resurrection. Great poem!
ReplyDeleteThat's right.
