Meditation poem for Easter Saturday

                  Meditation poem for Easter Saturday:

Climb

We stand 

as they did,

in these days,

illumined by 

fiery alleluias 

at His appearing,

yet often 

hesitant 

to bow;

our pilgrim walk 

staggered,

slipping back 

among the 

sin scree

of self 

when we 

take our

inner eye 

from 

His graced 

gaze

and lose 

our way

forgetting that 

our attaining of

the summit of 

the Holy Mountain

is, in Him,

already done,

and we ascend

in He who 

meets us 

at our lowest,

as Shepherd King,

as one who seeks,

and finds,

and carries 

home,

all that is 

lost 

in us
