The crimson flow,
the life leaked out to death;

in final breath
he gasped his work was now completed,
satanic scheme had been defeated,
salvation pure procured,
secured,
for all who will receive,
believe,
repent:
content –
more white than snow
my guilty stain has be removed,
I know.

Nice piece, Rhiannow, but you need to capitalise the 'h' for He or Him when referring to Christ or God.

Oh, right, I actually used to do so always, but now it seems that it is sometimes felt artificial unless the context is ambiguous, though it does draw attention to his uniqueness, and divinity aswell as humanity. I'll just give it a bit of thought, but thanks for your appreciation and comment. regards, Rhiannon

I remember last year, Rhiannon, when you wrote a series of poems at Eastertide. I am so glad you are marking the occasion by doing a similar thing this year. Tina
