It echoed from township prominent
Resounding chord
That drove the verdict home
Loud and clear
Like luster of the sunset
Wrap pronounced
Or was it a wrap
By cream virtuous
Cream
Of Arimathea
~
He showed up
Legendary fashion
Tower of splendor
Noble
Winner
Who took it all
Right at the nick of time
Like the unfolding
Of a grand script
Rooted
In ancient stream eternal
Sealing in finality
Wrap
That never was
Courtesy of
Voice
Of Arimathea
~
Lights went out
Momentary decoy
Amplifying uncertainty of the instant
Sometimes it’s only an end
Of the beginning
It becomes clear
At the top
Of the hour
When all has-been-said
And done
Moment mystique
When hope sparkles supreme
In a surprise last-minute laugh
Sunrise nostalgia
In retrospect
No one tells it best
Like the oak
Oak
Of Arimathea
