Holy Heartbeat

Cold, dark … alone, the heart of God beats,
coursing life’s blood to tiny hands and feet.
Smaller than the nails one day they will bear,
innocent and pure as His mother’s tears.


The Angels joined the chorus as the heavens rolled away,
announcing His arrival, a promise kept that day.


Seasons, months ... years, until the time has come,
when blossoms bud anew to praise Creation’s Son.
The Earth’s anticipation bursts forth with new breath,
of color, fruit and fragrance, new life to welcome death.

Scourged, pierced… alone, the heart of God ceased,
coursing life’s blood to precious hands and feet.
The pounding of the nails for ages to hear,
innocent and pure as His Father’s tears.


The Angels joined the chorus as the stone rolled away,
revealing He had risen, a promise kept that day.


Received, redeemed … Holy, the heart of God beats,
coursing Atonement to heal with cleansing Peace.
Rebirth of a soul bursts forth with new breath,
of Father, Son and Spirit, new Life …conquers death.

Pat -- This is absolutely beautiful! I love the first paragraph where you mention the tiny hands and feet smaller than the nails that will pierce Him and the mention of his mother's tears. Also, I like the flowers praising Creation's Son. Wonderful images! I'm so impressed with this! Congrats on being the FW Showcase this week!

Reading this sent little tingles up and down my arms. There is an innocence about this makes it SO precious! My favorite lines are with the Mother's tears and then his Father's. Beautiful writing!
