Resurrection
scarlet poppy drink
Resurrection
Golgotha darkened
Surreal clouds portend blood
Gloomy hill sickened
Nonchalant soldiers pass time
Cast lots cursed a boring clime
Poppy gall juice drink offered
Glimpse of revival deferred
Bore the cross all sins
The tasks on earth as promised
Said it is finished
Redemption at last
Spirit glorious ascent
A third day rising
The known world shaken
Healing started gradually
Long time but began
