The Sum Of Love

Look upon Me.
My weary eyes
tell of time not lost,
but of suffering
beyond understanding.

Look upon My teeth,
broken and crimson stewards
of the spoken truth.

Taste the blood
running freely from
swollen nostrils,
stinging eyes,
and innocent lips.

I bent upon the altar
of a desparate courtyard
as My skin was stripped
from its ravaged flesh
at the hands of perfect priests.

I debated not
the call to stand
in a murderer's stead
when offered as innocent.

My tongue rested
while thorned crown
was beaten into place
by lost souls.

Rivers red flowed from My brow,
muddied by sweat and choking dust
as I walked alone under the weight of all men,

while the fists and spit
of brethren found my
labored passing.

Do you see Mother?
I make all things new.

Was it so that only one
carried the cross with Me
when My spirit lifted
yet My body broke?
So it was written.

Forgiveness My only answer
while nails split flesh and bone
of hands that held no weapon
and feet that trespassed not.

And, as My body rested,
broken beyond understanding
at the will of My Father
I sang to all of you,

"I love you this much."
