Notes About The Poem

I Dreamed a Dream a Dream of Sacrifice

I dreamed a dream, of Him,
kneeling in a verdant garden,
only he could nurture.
A place of peace and pardon.

     He gazes, locked favoring heaven,
sorrow steals his sight and soul,
whilst darkness hardens.

     I witness in fear, whilst he bled
from severe innumerable laceration on his flesh.
A scarlet robe and woven crown, 
a difficult heavy cross for him to bear.

    Through shameful tears, to gather near and meet,
walked close, knelt at his feet.
