Resurrection

A Poem by Rita L. Sev

"

Rise above the sins of man

Eternity awaits

Sacred hands stretched out for all

Unlocking Heaven’s gates

Ringing out, the chapel bells

Rejoice within the light

Each despairing soul released

Chasing dark of night

Today embrace the promised gift

In solace and in strife

Of sacrifice and mystery

Nurturing new life

Thanks, Richie!
love you Rita! Oh happy day! when my sins are washed away ..i greatly appreciate your poem of redemption ... who can stand before the throne of God without falling to our knees? not me ..not me for sure .. Easter Celebration is my all time favorite event ... Jesus Christ risen ... and debt erased .. no other has ever made such a proclamation nor promise ... not one ..i am a Scotch Irish descendant and the Celts depictions of the cross do not have Jesus' image engraved ..why?? because He went to the Father ..to send the Holy Spirit to us ... i love it! wonderful acrostic girl ;)

This is amazing!!! It's incredible how you used the letters in 'Resurrection' to start each line, and then kept it flowing so beautifully!!! Fabulous job!!! :) :)

Thank you so much, Kieta! Glad you enjoyed.
Very well done! I love the mysticism of this poem. Something lacking in much of the Christian faith i think.

Ah Rita an Acrostic from you:) I do love it.

Such a powerful write for the Easter break. The Acrostic formation enhances and delivers this piece in a mesmerizing way. I love Acrostics for this reason....the format helps with expression and creates a robust write. This flowed well Rita.
