May I re-post a poem I wrote one Easter?
Easter Morn
I met the Gardener today,
His face and hands no worse for wear.
What struck me, indeed, was the way
He seemed to genuinely care.
No empty words meant to console,
No platitudes to ease the pain.
Just peace and comfort for my soul,
And promise of immortal gain.
Inspired by a recounting of the story of Mary Magdelene's visit to the empty tomb. She met a man she mistook for the gardener...

Very nice poem, and a an enjoyable read for Easter. It reminds me a little of William Blake, one of my favorite poets.

Wow. Kind of taken aback the second time I read this. Your meaning is so deep, yet strokes a pure, clear tone...one I think you meant to pull at the heartstrings.
Your language use and punctuation are so close to perfect, I don't know what to say.
Beautifully wonderful read, and God bless you for showing us what we should be celebrating...but in a clear light. Thank you for sharing!

"He touched me", huh.
On target, no empty promises,
"My peace I give you but not of this world."
"Just peace and comfort for my soul."
Excellcent, heart feeling pen, TY

A simple, excellent poem. I like it.
(maybe it would flow better if you began L3 with 'Indeed'.)
