                “Renounce all and do follow me”
                 All disregarded with much glee
                 Sighs in a nook a forlorn tree
                                  
Even the Giant broke his lofty wall to let the children in
The Child in that Elysium did soak all that was mean
Blessed was the Giant pure in heart getting rid of sin

                Who Art the Fishers of men?
                Whispering in sun and rain
                Leave mammon and once be sane

                There’s a mad gold-rush
                Films, songs pens and brush
                The world’s full of mush

                Someone…is in pain
               “I thirst” whose eyes rain?
                Is….all….forgotten?

  4. I'm thrilled to see that you have tried out the cross form. Each stanza has something unique to offer. Your final question certainly hits home.

  6. it does not take one Sunday in the many Sundays of the year being born of heart. Sunday like all other time frames are man made so the celebration of what is right amongst men should not be condensed to one small periond of time but should be throughout and ideally at all times

  15. Sumana, I really like the message of this Easter poem. I do think we all thirst, and only one thing can really quench it.

  16. Movies, songs, written word - some are mush, others wonderful. We must train our hearts and mind to see the difference. Nice cross shape.
