A Poem For Easter

Silver Paid
(April 6th, 2012)

Silver paid
Feet clean-made
Table laid
Elements upraised
Prayer bade
Agony prayed
Blood-tears cascade
Kiss made
Friend betrayed
Soldiers forayed
Brothers afraid
Loyalty staid
Sword razed
Ear whole-made
Soldiers led
Court charade
Christ obeyed
Priest's tirade
Witnesses inveighed
Friend strayed
Rooster brayed
Accusations made
Pilot swayed
Whippings flayed
Flesh frayed
Thorns laid
Purple arrayed
Lots played
Limbs splayed
Nails invade
Cross raised
Robber saved
Vinegar purveyed
Angst prayed
Breath allayed
Sky grayed
Thunder blazed
Earth-rumble pervade
Side grazed
Death displayed
Sins paid
Dead raised
Shekinah unmade
Cross surveyed
Friends dismayed
Mother's aide
Body conveyed
Oils arrayed
Linen laid
Tomb made
Stone palisade
Evening fade
Third day
Woman amazed
Friends relay
Christ raised
