I began writing poetry early in my walk with God. I have found it to be the best and sometimes the only way to express what God has made real in my heart. All of these poems are gifts from Heaven to me. Writing them and even re-reading them myself has blessed me beyond measure. I now pass the gift on to you. May you be touched and changed.

The Tomb

The air is stale and still
‘Tis black as a starless night
Eerie silence the tomb doth fill
The entrance is shut up tight

The brooding gloomy air
Is shattered by a sudden quake
The rough hewn walls of the lair
Begin to crack and shake

A sudden stab of light invades
The stone is rolling back
Dark shadow retreats and fades
Dawn floods through the crack

Now upon the rough cold shelf
Where a body once had sat
A linen cloth folded by itself
And grave clothes empty and flat

The open tomb reveals it all
By streaming light of day
God’s atoned now for the fall
Christ the Lord is risen today
