In Light of Love’s Sufferings

Love spilled on a craggy hill

The sun withheld its light

Earth was split; the veil was rent

When taking on our plight

Calvary, in silence

Of words, as they were

penned

Three hours filled with

darkness

Blood shed for all who’ve sinned

I wonder of the hours

lapsed

Hanging on the cross

Until the time he breathed

his last

Paying all sin’s cost

Imagining the fracture

Yes, time; BC-AD

And separation from his

Father

“why.....forsaken me?”

I ponder of the sans

The eve’ that fell on day

Darkness covered all the

land

The light was snuffed to

pay;

Crushed for my iniquities

Pierced for my

transgressions

God in flesh; all

sovereignty

Accomplishing his mission

Eclipsing all that’s evil

His light shone brightest

then

Sacrificed; my peril

To save me from my sin

Humble, as is testified

Words are without writing

His “hour” of prayer - was

crucified

Silence seems quite fitting

Love speaks in word’s

absence

Two thousand years and

counting

His Name still yields

forgiveness

And wounded hearts their

healing

“No eye has seen, nor ear

has heard”

Dark and quiet void

Shepherd; perfect lamb;

his herd

Slain, so I’d enjoy

Entering into the light

From shadows, shame and

guilt

Making all my wrongs now

“right”

Mending veil and quilt

Restoring me; his

fatherhood

Forsaken by the curse

He, the only perfect could

Rewrite my song and verse
