(Poem 245 for 2024 – I am writing a poem a day)

When Harry dropped the resurrection
stone in the forest after conferring with
his lost loved ones, the imagery was
reminiscent of the Garden of Gethsemane
and the agonizing acceptance of death
as the only way to life for all of humanity.
To have the power to save yourself and
choose submission to pain and fear of
the unknown is a most noble sacrifice.
