Descent from the Cross (Happy Easter)

[softlyfalling]

Hi softly,
late again to the party!
I thought this a timely and beautifully done poem.

I have read all of the thread and just to be helpfully on the fence, semi agree with Todd. For me the small ? is over the use of the "but" in the line before. I read His wisdom's source cannot be owned as the Acts release of the Holy Spirit (this being the third person of god who is present on the earth with us but not for us to (try and) control or kill as we did Jesus...we (mankind) tried to own him). I then read the next line in light of the valley of dry bones from Ezekiel. In that the fulfilment has come (to those for whom salvation has been designed) and i entirly do take your last lines as being analogous to the resurrection and ascension of Christ after his death. ...returning to the "But" this caused the stumble in my thinking because i felt it implied a conditioner on salvation.

Hmm... it is always difficult this interpretation thing.

AJ.

I butted the "but" LOLOL
Thank you, in all seriousness.
