My Cross

At this point, ‘twixt fresh and nether,
Spirit jaded from journeys weather,
Mind of stone, flesh like leather,
Trembling upon this,
my own cross.

Memory, times kind for faults past,
Lashes out, a vengeful repast,
Solace sought, long enough can’t last,
One more nail, in this,
my own cross.

Peace of mind, a dream of past youth,
Inspired hope, no longer doth sooth,
Faith in self, is my loss forsooth,
Whilst I fade, on this
my own cross.

Knowledge that, each sin was a post,
Erected this, my bodies last host,
As life’s flow, left nothing to boast,  
Regret is mine, upon this,
my own cross.
