For those who either are not Christian or celebrate the holiday on a different day, today for me is Good Friday. It is a day where we remember the day that Jesus died on the cross to take the punishment for all of our sins.
---
It is the darkest day by far
Songs in minor key
Black drapes upon cut down trees
When the world was midnight in the afternoon
A savior that has died for me
The stories of the mockery
The pain
The injustice
Six hours he hung in pain
Slowly
S l o w l y
Questioning his hurtful fate
“God, why have you forsaken me?”
But not too long after
The resemblance of a man upon that cross
Promised his heart for us
And by death was free
We remember this man
And think of him everyday
Promising to keep his heart safe
Inside our own
I have found why they call it Good
Because all Good has come from what he did
But every time
I find that I am short of breath
By the time the
Final
Candle
Is
Extinguished.
