This poem was composed outdoors, in looking around and just writing about what I saw around me

When Christ Walked Tall

22 April 2005


Blue skies scattered in puffs of white
cattle grazing pastures of lament
Birds singing on the breeze calm
This creation of the Almighty put

In God’s eye view
to environment captured
Some natural
others man made

A lonely tree in survival
of degradations past
This land in seedlings withered
Where the pampas was
far from maternal being

Some good
some not be that at all
For whom was it that
addressed the balance
When on this earth
Jesus Christ did walk tall


“Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and
lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be
sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.”
John 16: 20 KJV


a poet who cares

Yes, HE sure did walk tall, in spite of how things appreared to some.  I like your use of descriptives in this piece.
