Good Friday

Matthew 20:22,23
The light sometimes
seeps away at dusk
sucked into the wind-caressed
greyness of the clouds,
darkly one with blackening trees,
inviting a soul's deep drinking
of shadow.

As black as that tree
etched in Golgotha,
dark as that darkness,
chilled as the wind
that made His spirit recoil
deserted
yet grasped strangely, firmly.

A hard cup for those addicted to the
brilliance
of certitude,
and love baths in shimmering light,
fearing the love of unknowing.

But somehow necessary
for spirit-deepening
and the cracking open of inner graveyards.

Peace doesn't just happen - it is sought out, negotiated, and can never be trusted to remain. Won't you help to keep it?
