Resurrection Is A Singular Thing Poem by Bill Grace

Resurrection Is A Singular Thing

Rating: 5.0


Resurrection is a singular thing
Resurrection is a singular thing
it blinds us to hills that skip
and fields that sing
God dwells in the human
it is true
but nature's settings
are a diamond
which also helps
see us through.
Diamond and gold
both make the ring
to this
a poet sings.

Jesus was so special
God could not abide him dead
when good Mary went to find him
found an angel in his stead.
The story's very stirring
the story sure is true
with a truth that will last for ages
Good News for me and you.

There is so much light to Jesus
we are blinded by the sight
could easily forget
God's others of great height.
Isaiah talks of stone less
Highway through riven sea,
oaks of righteousness,
whirlwind, vineyard, desert, mountain, moon.
Hills that jump as lambs
God's power in the sand.

Jesus is the man!
for me it will always be.
However, I am also grateful to Isaiah
who provides a lower voltage
that also provides
some additional hope for me.

When it comes to cosmic pay off
paths, valleys, hills, trees and seas
these hold to a status where
I also find divinity.

God gave his power to Jesus
Isaiah also was connected in
I hope that both their spirits
will help keep me
from my deeper sins.
