Graveside

Art: Mutual Mindset by J.Planet

Graveside

 

I always pause

Near the end

Life lived well

Like few others

Always a sigh

For the anointer

Wiping His feet

With her hair

Wonder if she knew

Had He confessed

His mission

His sacrifice

He died

Never understood why

Am I really so awful

That he couldn’t enjoy life?

What could I do

To prevent it happening

This year

As it did in the last?

So much guilt

Placed upon me

From childhood

Mea culpa

He suffered

Mea culpa

No one came to his aid

Mea maxima culpa

Someone like me

Stood by His tortured body

Collected drops of blood

In her alabaster jar

United with her tears

Taken to safety

While He still

Walked the earth

Before He ascended

The goodbye

Never recorded

By men

Hearts divided

Through space

And time

Love which touches

Every generation

Since

One way

Or another
