"Then when he received the sour wine Jesus said, 'It is finished,' and bowed his head and gave up his spirit."
a profound silence
in this shrouded mystery
of luminous dark
eyes slowly open
lifting lids of bloody tears
bringing joy and peace
a bursting of hope
as light shimmers through darkness
His majesty shines
beaten for mankind
crowned with piercing thorns
hung bleeding to die
though hurt and abused
this defeat is victory
in the name of Love
with His eyes resting
revealing my heart and soul
this Face gives comfort
words never spoken
tell of deep, dark mystery
in this still silence
this Love penetrates
springs up a bubbling Spirit
opening Sheol's door
a Voice beckons me
offering to show the Way
humbly, i follow
in this shrouded mystery
