A/N Just a little something I had to write for English class. It's my first ever poem, and it was quite hard to write since I think I have an aversion to rhyming words. Plus it had to have an actual rhyme scheme, meter, and feet. But read and enjoy!
Victory
John 12:24 - "I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds." (NIV)
A choking darkness closes in
The roiling, boiling clouds begin
To crash and flash and dash the hope
Of weeping friends flocked on the slope
His brow stained crimson as the clouds
That churn above, a scarlet shroud
His body, battered, bruised, and torn
Like rocks below heaved in the storm
The jeering, sneering swarm spews scorn
While scattered allies wail and mourn
But in the Temple, torn in twain
The holy veil gives worth to pain
Then early on that Easter morn
They find their hope has been reborn
He gave His life that we might live
He came to earth His life to give
Up from the grave did Christ arise
Defeat is triumph in disguise!
