Easter Poem: Return to Life

ReturntoLifePoem

RETURN TO LIFE

His beaten battered marked body,
was removed from the wooden cross
from which he had been so horridly displayed.

Jesus was then carried away to an old borrowed tomb,
from which he would stay
until the stone
was rolled away.

While his followers in their hearts believed,
it was they who denied.
But Jesus took away their unfaithful sins,
for which he died.

Within a short time,
the heavy stone would be rolled away,
as Jesus came back,
to foretell them all,
of a beautiful everlasting life.

Those who threw painful stones,
who beat him to the
core of his broken bones,
would learn the heavenly truth.

Jesus would come back
to foretell them all
of a beautiful everlasting life.

While his faithful followers in their hearts believed,
it was they who denied.
But Jesus took their sins,
for which he died.

And by early morn,
the stone would be rolled away,
and darkness would be never more.

Jesus came back,
to foretell them all
of a beautiful everlasting life.

Jesus would be king.
He would be the chosen one.
The father.
Our teacher.
Mentor.

He brought the gift of everlasting life,
he proved all of those non-believers wrong.

Those who threw painful stones,
who beat him to the
core of his broken bones.
Would all know the truth
of their treacherous woes.

Jesus came back
to foretell them all
of everlasting life
when the stone
was rolled away.

He returned to life.
Jesus would be king.
He would be
the chosen one.

Jesus returned to life.

“Within the depths of our mind, we are battling the duel of light and darkness…good and evil…love and hate…” Between Light and Darkness is Ariana’s most recent collection of poetry… Cherry’s frequent message she delivers throughout her work is, “The journey through the darkness, back into the light.” Her hope is to let others know that they won’t be in that place of darkness for long – that they indeed can reach the light once again…She also wants her readers to know – that – it is okay if they find themselves in that bleak blackness…Sometimes we feel guilty for going to that dark place – but it is necessary to conquer the demons that battle our souls…. Other books that Cherry has written include "Only If" and "Twisted Paths Poetry." Her epic tale, “Only If,” won the “Reader’s Favorite Award” and a 5 star review…and her collection, “Twisted Paths Poetry,” received a 5 star review from Realistic Poetry International. She has been writing ever since she was a child. Some of her inspirations include Edgar Allen Poe, Robert Frost, Stephen King, Emily Dickinson, Christopher Pike and Shel Silverstein.
