rocks and cross

through the darkest hour
every tree top in the forest
adorned with a star (Ese)

the earth quaked in sorrow

man had crucified God’s Son

Good Friday is a day that the earth mourns the death of bright hope. This supreme sacrifice was intended to set the prisoners free from the shackles of sin. And so we celebrate with misty tears the dark day when Love died.

This tan renga/ haibun for Carpe Diem Haiku Kai built off Ese’s of Esengasvoice haiku

Also sharing with God Interest

Thank you for visiting Moondustwriter. One of the many exciting things I've had the honor of doing is writing with an E. African team that is developing elementary curriculum for African children. As a writer, it is a thrill to help children (on all continents) who want to learn. I've been part of the blogging community for more than 10 years. Some old timers may remember the award winning (2011 Twitter Shorty ) blog community - One Stop Poetry. I was the co-producer of that fast growing blog community. I am a published writer, poet, artist and photographer. I have written, as well as edited, for periodicals, radio, blogs and fellow writers. There are many facets to this moon - thanks for stopping by. View more posts
