Evidence

dried chocolate drizzled
down cup’s interior
marshmallow melted and mingled through
evidenced of this chill autumn morning
rests on bedside table
echoing the hour


then what of those dried drops
of crimson flow turned brown
streaking His brow?
what of the spread out blotches
life’s ending flow?

then what of His snowy cloths
resting upon stone slabs
ruts arced across the sand
seal broken, stone standing aside
in awe, in reverence,
crying out for we do not

pray thee,
what evidence is clear
what evidence is dear
what evidence will you bring to your heart
and carry away in your spirit,
forevermore

Thank you both, something tells me you understood this piece.  Not everyone does, I think.  Of course I did revise from when I first wrote it.
