Really appreciate you sharing, Cody! I loved the deep biblical imagery used here. Felt very sweeping as we went through many motifs in the Old Testament, then, of course, culminating in Jesus really becomes powerful.
Thanks for the invitation to read! A provocative and edifying poem. Ill have to think about the connection you say because i have never thought about it before, between suffering the children come to him and sowing in sorrow. Its not exactly intuitive to me but im all the more glad you referenced it.
Very artfully done, the movement between the old testament type and it's fulfillment reminds me of the parallelism in the Psalms.
I particularly liked this verse,
The Garden’s rivers are far away;
We sow our lives in sorrow,
Yet carry new and fragrant lives
To the Gardener's empty tomb.
A pleasure to read, thank you for sharing Cody. I look forward to reading more!
Thank you man, I’m learning from your poems! God bless
Lovely. Sweet salve to wounds. Healing in the child sacred.

Thank you for the feedback, God bless 🙏
Lovely poem! It brings to mind the old hymn written by Knowles Shaw, “Bringing in the Sheaves.”
