Golgotha " Calvariae Locus "

Through the streets i followed Not believing my eyes Three carrying crosses Only two of them cried We reached a place Called the hill of the skull Golgotha " Calvariae Locus " Calvary hill Three holes in the soil Were awaiting their fate One for above And two for hells gate Bloodied and nailed Impaled on natures wood To quiet a faith This is all they could Their efforts were in vain As higher powers intervened When i looked through my eyes On that Calvary hill scene What did the Romans fear From the one who wore the thorns He who the people followed For in the morning will be reborn http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/life-6.php

This is a magnificent account of the Calvary journey, James, and the way Christ bravely faced death on the cross. The Romans seemed very threatened by Christ's ability to communicate with and motivate the masses. Surely, they had no other reason to fear Him. Terrific writing, my friend! Much love and holiday wishes, Carolyn
