Life's blood
passing his eyes,
covering sacred grounds
seeping down,
dry, cut, dirty
crimson reds and browns

Life's sweat
pouring from rain,
dripping silver linings
weeping through,
unleashed tensions
from unseen bindings

Life tears,
between the drops,
washing away the stains
bleeding on
and flowing out
escaping the pains

God bless
and heaven's sake
for crosses are to bare,
walking through
valleys and storms,
and most anywhere


One's outlook can be another's expression.

Very interesting piece Craig. Always a pleasure to read your thoughts. Chris

Interesting write.  I like to think of crosses as tests that stretch us and make us better.  In a sense, I agree with the comment above about just breathing -- I think part of the test is to release!

My heart pounds as I read along, I feel your pain.

Energy of the sun
Nutritions of the earth
And hardwork of the farmers
Through the summer

I wrote this sometime ago during my recess from PIP ...
   from my window I could watch a small mudslide forming from days of endless rain, a mixture of red clay and earth. I tried, and sounds like caught, the rage of the storms as they releashed upon the moment.

   I am find, rest assured .... I have the battle scars to prove it!  (lol)

       thank you everyone for your time and read.
