The Cross of Destiny

Three crosses stood still that faithful day
As the skies sadly wept a guilted grey
On the highest hill they would be seen
By Roman ruled eyes that did demean

The middle cross covered in rustic red
Where the calamitous Christ’s blood sacrificed shed
The lachrymal lamb dies for our shameless sins
As the whispering winds wind and the sky dims

The christened cross made thus Divine
For the Christ awaits Ascension to His Holy shrine
The weathered wood of dogmatic Destiny
Dexterously dismantled while bereaving blessedly

The Christ carefully put in a timeless tomb
With His Loving Light creates a new womb.

Thank you my new friend Cortney...and you are a beautiful being ...but I can not take full credit for this sonnet...for the Angels are guiding and nudging...I believe all poets are nudged by Angels...the more you believe in them the more they nudge...like monkeys on your back lol...god bless and A happy Easter my poetic friend...(:^WW^:)
