An Easter flower cuts light into the sill
The sound of suffering is forever still.
Tears of forgiveness warm the evening chill.

Written from the point of view of the dear sacrificing One who was grateful and full of love for the thief. A beautiful and reverent piece Sandra. I can well imaging this being read aloud at Easter time. Bless you, and many good wishes from Fay.
My father's house is just a breath away.......poignant indeed! Happy Easter to you.
Your love for seeking His presence in a rustling leaf is quite in consonance with our devotional poetry. Great images of thought, sight and sound.
Sandra, Ralph inspired a fine poem. It was a doctor, I believe from South Africa, who inspired Kipling to write 'If.' Even the power of refraction defies death if we are pure. Blessings to your wonderful ministration of words as always, Bill Grace
Wonderful title Sandra, I love the line 'Forever is today in paradise'. this is truly an excellent poem especially for Easter but for anytime of year. I truly enjoyed the read Sandra.--Melvina--
Sandra, A perfectly titled masterpiece whose cup is filled to the brim with tenderness and compassion. The Easter message sings with joy and confidence at the deepest level.
Sandra, this poem got deeper with every line. A wonderful poem for Easter as well as any other time of the year. Beautifully done! Brian
a very beautiful heartwarming piece of poetry, touches the heart deeply.
How deep the meaning is. You write about the reality that most of us fail to ponder upon. You are truly a born poet.
Sandra, I'll have to come back to this one later. I'm not sure I've captured the beauty, beneath the beauty of this one.Your poems are somethig else.
A very lovely poem, Sandra. It inspired my to post the poem 'Angel of Darkness, Angel of Light', since it echoes the same sentiments. Your view is graceful, as are your words. I too was the thief that defended Him.
Love the structure of tercets that are rarely seen in modern verse. You have inspired me to try my hand at this style. The image in the conclusion is nothing short of spectacular. A finely crafted piece. Hallelujah, dear soul! With Easter just around the corner, I am glad I found this gem. Warmest wishes, Greg
