The time has come to admit that I've been writing Bible poems. "Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?" Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him" - John 20:14-15

A poem that reads: Mary Magdalene and the Gardener By Jay Hulme At first Mary thought he was a gardener, this miraculous Son. She saw the dirt under his nails through the tears in her eyes, and saw not the grave, but the bringer of life; And how was she wrong, then? This woman wrapped in grief, who saw the dirt of a borrowed tomb, and thought at first of things which bloom; Which turn their heads to the sun, and burst into joyous colour.
