Resurrection

Rise above the sins of man

Eternity awaits

Sacred hands stretched out for all

Unlocking Heaven’s gates

Ringing out, the chapel bells

Rejoice within the light

Each despairing soul released

Chasing dark of night

Today embrace the promised gift

In solace and in strife

Of sacrifice and mystery

Nurturing new life

Excellent. You even rhymed the lines. This is a great poem for Easter that embodies the spirit of the holiday.

[Rita L. Sev]

Thanks, Relic. For some reason I get OCD about my acrostics, and I have to make them rhyme...

[Relic]

Well you did a great job of it. If I do one in the future I have a good example to follow.

Beautiful springtime acrostic. My lawn with all its pretty flowers resurrects itself every Spring. It’s a mystery why our Earth seems to be the only planet in a million light years that supports such a pretty lawn. What kind of serendipity is at work here? If it would all disappear tomorrow and then appear again in a year, then it would be the greatest gift ever, but as it is we all take these cycles of life for granted. Without the Sun’s light all my flowers would die, without the Moon the tides wouldn’t rise. Everything’s in perfect balance.

Indeed, the earth creates itself anew. It's enough to keep one hopeful in winter when we know the rewards of spring... Thank you, Aethereal.

[Aethereal]

You're welcome!

A beautiful tribute to Easter and His sacrifice. It's time of year in which we all should also resurrect/renew ourself to finish out the year on the right now. Great acrostic.

[Rita L. Sev]

Thanks, G - yes, a time for renewal in every aspect...
