it has always been, long before Calvary
ne'er dead wood to carry,
in hopes of sin's future defeat I tarry
Tis for a dead man already, It is fit and made
An Intrinsic Cross placed in me by the price He paid
Of Eternity's Cross It has it's roots
By way of the stump of Adam, It grows its shoots
The Tree of Christ like a lampstand of Gold
The earth is filled with glory of the Son who is the mold
in whom all things were made through and for
His Expression shining through one's life that is poured
The Power of His endless Life radiates
Through His sons who bear His Inherent Trait
The same Cross that dwelt in Eternity Past
Now lives in them who hold fast
Ne'er loving one's own life and remaining alone,
but like the seed that dies, becoming One
An Expression of the Son that fills the earth
Where all sorrow flees, replaced by eternal mirth
The Intrinsic Cross is the Stand of Gold,
The City of God, whose seekers were the men of old
Now we have such a Reality that forever glows
A Light that devours its darkest foes
Its form and presence by Revelation we see
His Eternal Delight in revealing His Son in me'

It seems that you have several "themes" going on in the same poetic work.
It makes it harder for me to follow the intended thought.
You scatter a lot of Bible thoughts throughout the writing which is good.
Could this material be just as well divided into two separate poetic works to express your themes easier?
Just a thought.
An intricate piece of writing that will resonate long after it's been read.
Good job.
God bless~
It may be a tad weak on topic. I see in the lasst line you brought it in more. Though I'll admit poetry isn't my strong suit and it's possible some may have gone over my head.
It's a beautiful tribute to our Precious Savior who endured so much on our behalf. Nice job.
I had a hard time finding a tie-in to the topic for this week, which was "Expose."
This was a moving picture of Calvary.
