Poetry
I imagine I'm there,
In the dark of that night,
With the leaves in the trees,
Spreading rumors of fright,
With Your lingering death,
Like a fog in the air,
With Your beauty disfigured,
By crushing dispair,
And I imagine Your blood,
As it bubbles and boils,
Bursting Your veins,
And expelling its spoils,
With Your hands, and Your face,
And Your feet streaming red,
You collapse to the ground,
And You appear to be dead,
And I imagine our sins,
They attack You in throngs,
Our lies and our miseries,
All of our wrongs,
Followed by hate,
And our deadliest crimes,
And they strike at Your body,
Enumerable times,
And they tear at Your flesh Lord,
Obstructing Your light,
And they slap,
And they pinch,
And they viciously bite,
And You moan from the pain,
Falling short of Your senses,
As You willingly pay,
For our human offences,
And I imagine You Lord,
Upon thistles and grass,
Praying, "If it is possible,
Let this cup pass,"
But also Brave Jesus,
Most Excellent Son,
You pray,
"Not my will Father,
But Your will be done."
