Easter Sabbath
Did the darkness frighten you?
You who understood the cosmos
And heard its song sung
Before we even contemplated
one note
Did the nothingness panic you?
You who formed the nothingness
You who fashioned the emptiness
And made it matter
So that we might also
Knowing it was coming, knowing
What was coming, you cried
In the garden surrounded
It must have weighed heavy
That darkness, the nothingness
That rest between the agony
And the glory
And for those who loved
You
That resting, the darkness and the tomb
Was despair, disbelief
And yet, you rested
And awoke in splendour
To shine through, to strengthen
To save
us
We who tarnished the song,
Chose the darkness,
Lived in nothingness
So that we may sing the song,
Choose light,
Live

Beautiful! My favorite:
"Knowing it was coming, knowing

That darkness, the nothingness
That rest between the agony
And the glory"
Based on this poem, you have a gift that should be allowed to flourish, it's excellent and describes what He must have been going through perfectly. If you want to know of other poetry sites, let me know. God Bless, Mike.
Mike, thanks so much! I really appreciate that! I am happy to share the blessings He has shared with me.
