In reverent silence,
waits the day as
holy hush of morn portends,
advent of rising sun.
Darkness
pierced by darting rays,
arrows of his light.
Upon the land
night's benediction,
comes forth Jehovah's day.
From corraled temples of the sea
to mountainous cathedrals,
hallowed be his name.
On rising winds,
exaltant anthems,
Glory to the King!
As sky explodes
in
blinding radiance,
Behold!
the Risen
Son!

This was great. Really gets down to the true meaning of easter and not all the eggs and rabbits.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Hey,

        Wonderful poem, I am glad my first "Holiday Cheer" poem was written by such a talented poet. Hope I get here more often to read some of your work.

Oh my. This is magnificent...and does capture the title, perfectly.
This is exquisite, to say the least.

I've never read Holiday Cheer Forum before and just 'happened here'?

No chance...I was lead here to enjoy this....and it makes my day.

Thank you so much,

Hugs, Pat
