Easter (I.P.)


from the ABC set shamrock's ramblings

Roll back the stone,
he has risen again.
Tear the gold leaf
from the chocolate Jesus

A rebirth; THE rebirth,
The Lamb of God!
He will gambol in
the fields of hope!

Old failures unmasked,
become renewed promises;
to be crucified on
a Friday next year.

Egging on; teasing,
testing the faithful
with blood, death,
resurrection and chocolate

Thanks Magic; I hope the Easter Bunny came to you. Dunno about stockists for 'chocolate Jesus', a Cadbury cream egg would do me ;) Happy Easter to you and yours! XX

Cadbury cream eggs are my wife's favourite. Me, I like chocolate, in any form. Hope you and yours had a great Easter, mate.
