 Keith Wallis is a poet with decades (!) of experience from the era of the 'small press' to the era of 'the web'. He's been on this planet since 1949 when, by a strange manipulation of the universe, he arrived early and half cooked. Called ''wordsculptor' by a colleague in the dim and distant past he adopted this as a nom-de-plume on various websites.
He has a popular blogsite : wordsculptures, where he integrates words with photographs in ways that always inspire and sometimes amuse. He is on the leadership team of his church where he has a worship ministry.
He is a moderator at ChristianWriters.com.

I've Written . . .
Journey Through Easter - Palm Sunday 'Elation'
Christian Poetry
-
Devotionals
Fiction: False
Behind, in the hot distance,
in dust and haze,
a mystery-cloaked cloud approaches,
a playful meander
breaking the monotony of day.
The anticipation of something special
catches the pulse and breath of pilgrim souls on the road to celebration.
Whispers grow to discussion,
opinion to argument,
theories fleet between mouths and ears.
A dignitary on his way to the feast….

Journey Through Easter - My Heart In Silence 'Meditation'
Christian Poetry
-
Devotionals
Fiction: False
My heart in silence humbly cried
the scene before - a wounded side
thorny crown and crucified.
No faded communion this
no winey blood nor half-baked body
no hiding place for self-pity
nor shield for rose-tinted eyes.
Thorny crown and crucified
the scene before - a wounded side,
my heart,
in silence,
humbly cried.
And hears your words,
“Father forgive”.

Journey Through Easter - Fulfilment 'Completion'
Christian Poetry
-
Devotionals
Fiction: False
“It is finished”
though not over.
Breathing, pulsing, life extinguished
in wicked celebration,
blood, pain, tears and darkness.
The false tree’s solitary leaf fallen,
Winter’s early breath contaminating Spring,
one Lamb at the Passover table,
one Messiah at this feast.
“It is finished.”
“It is finished.”
Beyond the curtain,
in the corridor between earth and heaven,
a chasm span

Journey Through Easter - On This Hill 'Contemplation'
Christian Poetry
-
Devotionals
Fiction: False
In darkest daylight
with all sin revealed
the host is lifted high.
There is no melancholy melody to this sacrifice,
no quietude of choir-filled gentility
to align thought and soul.
This altar of absorbing pain
staggers the senses, grips the mind.
This is a solitary place.
A hermitage,
crowded with broken hearts
and wounded spirits,
oblivious of their fellows.
Let sense be dul

Journey Through Easter - And You And I - 'Communication'
Christian Poetry
-
Devotionals
Fiction: False
Six pain chasmed hours
on a day that has no beginning,
when shackled eternity
and Satan's dance
converge
upon a hill,
a love-nailed sacrifice
and the parched darkness of time.
Demons laugh,
while angels smile with tear filled eyes.
Blood's curse becomes wine's soothing balm
and broken body
the blessing of confessing bread.
Here at table
shadowy prophets
speak of the masquera

Journey Through Easter - Friday Night 'Separation'
Christian Poetry
-
Devotionals
Fiction: False
And after the pain, more pain.
Deep and dark
loathful separation.
The black clamour of blindness,
the taut grip of death.
Time stopped: a different eternity.
Memories of friends and Father,
the lifeline at finger’s edge.
In this red-black deep
there is no passion, no joy, no light:
just the wailing of souls
and a tomorrow that never dawns.
The most recent of memories hold no respit

Journey Through Easter - Your Temple 'Resurrection'
Christian Poetry
-
Devotionals
Fiction: False
Your temple
is a fragrant cloud,
a whisper in a breeze,
birdsong in an early evening,
a dreaming robe of daylight.
Citadel splendour,
vulgar stable,
high pinnacle or low valley,
their walls do not contain or glorify
nor wholly speak praise.
The crystal jewelled
golden altar
of a searching soul
is where communion takes place.

Journey Through Easter - Easter Sunday 'Revelation'
Christian Poetry
-
Devotionals
Fiction: False
This is a strange compulsion:
to go to that dark place of death,
to reverence an empty body.
We go in sense of duty,
we go in the garb of tradition,
we go with no expectation.
There is easy access to this place:
no barring stone nor guarding soldier
sentry here.
This is the place of death.
Death is all there is to find here.
We can choose to stay,
to minister to nothingness
with our b

Journey Through Easter - Easter Sunday - This Blood 'Continuation'
Christian Poetry
-
Devotionals
Fiction: False
This blood that stills my soul
balm to aching heart
and remover of scars
moves on through time's passageways.
This blood pretends for instant to be wine;
more palatable, less demanding,
tended by one wounded soul
to a thirsting brother.
This ointment of love
and picture of sacrifice
salves with cooling drop
all the condemnation of fear.
