Tears of the Cross

Three crosses stood still that faithful day As the skies sadly wept a guilted grey On the highest hill, they would be seen Ruled by Roman eyes that did demean The middle cross covered in a rustic red Where the blood of Christ, sacrificed shed The limpid lamb died for our shameless sins With whispering winds spun by Angels wings The Christened cross was made thus Divine For Christ awaited ascension to the Holy Shrine And the weathered wood of dogmatic Destiny Dexterously dismantled bereaving blessedly Christ was carefully rested in a timeless tomb As His Loving Light created a newly found womb.

Even without seeing the picture, you described the crosses on Mt. Calvary very well, W.W. Because of the meter and varied syllable counts, it reads more like an amazing rhyme than a sonnet to me. Enjoyed it very much! With many outstanding entries, judging was difficult (again). Congratulations on a second-place win! And thank you for supporting the contest. Best wishes, Carolyn
