Good Friday Observed


Nailed to a cross
Mocked by men
Abandoned?
Three women watch nearby
Cling to each other
Agony
He speaks to them
Take care of each other
Love
Wine is offered on a cloth
He takes his last breath
Finished
The sky turns black
Temple curtain tears
Despair

Candles light a darkened sanctuary
Cross is draped in black
Solemn
The story of this dark day is told
One by one candles extinguished
Remember
Emotions run deep
Feelings unspoken
Tears
What pain do you bear?
Bring it to the cross
Release
Even in the darkness
The love is there
Wait
