Nette Onclaud Poet Free verse

Vow of Resurrection

How  my own trespasses grip this weary heart
That deep pauses of meditation fill the quiet—
And I am reminded about One Love bestowed on me
Upon a Calvary of thorns , a death paying  all sins
Linking me with a vow of resurrection.

Somehow I reach into an inner core … there,
A Lamb’s blood cleanses all self's offenses,
While a gentle presence drifts within
Like the stroke of Jesus’ unseen hands,
Flowing   gleaming around towards me:

And I bow in humility, in renewed grace,
His whispers yearn ---‘ forgive them
for they do not know what they do---" 
this spirit affirming His glory  which imparts
in me   a clear  pursuit of earthly kindliness;
giving honor to myself, brethren, and the Lord.

James Horn April 11, 2019 at 7:44 AM Many did not want to know what they were doing. That is the real sad part about Jesus's crucifixion that is fact and not fiction as the result of much fiction.
