Laramie Holtzclaw: And the Dead Walk Again

And the Dead Walked Again

What can I bring to

The maker of everything?

He asks for obedience

And for “burnt offerings…

At the feasts, on the new moons, and on the Sabbaths.”

He asks for the first fruits of my labors

And for “a young bull without blemish…

Also six lambs and a ram.”

He asks for sons

Then leaves me in “the middle of the valley…

Full of bones.”

But I will be patient and consider the power of His ways

For “there was a noise, and behold, a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to its bone.”

And the dead walked again.

–Mr. Holtzclaw
