Chapter 11

The Resurrection Tree (Poem)

 spacer

The naked, sleeping almond tree

With dark limbs spread

Against swift wind clouds riding free

High overhead,

Speaks of the wintry night of death

In earth's full womb,

Where saints devoid of living breath

Sleep in the tomb.

 

But soon the songbirds' melody

Proclaiming spring,

Awakes the sleeping almond tree

And blossoming,

it deeply breathes crisp fragrant sir,

And leaves appear.

Soon petals fall from blossom fair

The fruit is near.

 

Bare almond tree, the first of trees

To hear the sound

Of herald spirit in the breeze,

And in the ground,

Speaks of the day when from the dust

Each sleeping saint

Wiii rise - the faithless and the just

Fearless or faint

 

Spring comes, and nature's lessons tell

That longing Bride

That her beloved soon will quell,

Death's constant tide.

"Come forth, my love, my sister spouse,"

His voice is dear,

"A gem to grace my Father's House

The day is near."

 

Each day i look for swelling bud,

As winter dies,

For first faint pink of almond bud

'Gainst azure skies.

lt tells me to await my Lord.

So eagerly,

And rip'ning fruit will health afford

Eternally.

Sis. B. Flint.

 

 

 

Every resurrected saint will be a dewdrop Sparkling in the star-like glory of a divine refraction Eureka
