Notes About The Poem

The Cross Laments

I

~   He died in my arms -

             life flowing out with His blood ...

                       as I wept red tears   ~




II

~   I was once beauty -

             branched full with life abiding ...

                       now I am but cursed   ~

Blessings, Gershon Gregory Richard Barden April 13, 2018 at 4:06 AM Thank you SO much, my good friend, this means a lot to me ... this was a tough write, believe-it-or-not, to walk the line between personification and not taking away from the power of the event and what it meant. Blessings!
