In mourning
and disgrace...
the sun hid its face.
Across the hill,
there fell an eerie lull
There were many
eyes that cried
But their pleas
were nullified
as the young man died
at the Valley of the Skull

Many years later
I succumbed to the illusion...
I was shaken by the loss !
Overcome by confusion...
At the base of Yeshua's cross !
With mouth agape...
I beheld the shape
of the Son upon the tree...
Who there appears
like any other man
fallen under Death's decree
                
I peered through
misperception
at this one whom
Death had stung
Then...a sacred drop
of enlightened blood...
fell upon my tongue
                    
A brilliant light
brought slow awakening
to my dark and slumbering mind
And I understood the message
that this man had left behind...
                    
I beheld myself
and those around me
and knew ...
that come the third days dawn...
If he still laid wrapped
within the shroud...
The Son of God lives on !

He had resurrected
years before that date.
Years before the day
we celebrate.
And to all of those
whom grace elects...
To this very day...
He resurrects !

...whew...I cannot help it, every time I read or think of the Savior on the cross and what He endured...I cry...
this is beautiful...and full of truth
