golden rise upon the mountain
light moves gently over the scene
colors join the day in knowing
this is an answer to a dream
donkey’s colt untied and led forth
his only rider is a king
palm branches line La Via
Hosanna shouts while others sing
the silent rocks they know the story
holding back the truth they know
but one day all will be revealed
and men will cry in shouts of woe
this Palm day swift leads to another
where the course of history bends
his eyes have looked into many
love’s message to each one he sends
Today is Palm Sunday the day when Jesus entered Jerusalem under the hails of Hossanas.
“Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples.” But Jesus answered, “I tell you, if these become silent, the stones will cry out!” Luke 19:39 & 40
One day (in a week) he is revered, another he is sold, and blood spills upon the Via Dolorosa…
Wishing all at Poet’s United a Happy Palm Sunday!
Oh Leslie… its so beautiful.. love the depiction of vivid imagery…

A fine reminder of the trappings of Palm Sunday and the importance of its history. I felt that Palm Sunday was so different to any other Sunday, as a child, when taking home some fresh palm leaves from church…Your words could be an Easter hymn..
