Calvary

Have I the faith

        Or

     Is it just the fear of death?

He was a good man 

       And 

    All I did was spectate 

   The sun unforgiving

   Feet marched along 

   Going in and out of consciousness 

   Even though I didn't bare the cross

   Suddenly the downpour arrived

   Washing his blood from my eyes

   Scent of wet soil in the air

   But all I smelt was despair 

   The man cried for humanity

  "They know not what they're doing"

   Have I lost faith or gained insanity

   That day I saw a man with a cross in Calvary 

Author's Note

I'm not very religious but here's one I wrote when I felt I needed some faith

i really like this kee...it made me imagine a man standing next to the good samaritan, and then later regretting he wasn't the one who offered...

sometimes we need to just trust our faith in God, in ourselves in our instincts to act.+

Indeed, I felt like that man today who believes but doesn't have the right amount of faith, this was my way of expressing how I desperately need to search for that faith and not just be someone with an idle existence

Outstanding! I enjoyed this poem and loved the message you conveyed.

[KeeD]

Thank you at first I thought people might be upset and not understand where I was coming from.. but this poem was me trying to feel more human than I felt before, someone in search of faith.

[Lucid Dreamer]

I understand completely where you're coming from. I thought it was beautiful and well written; I was hooked by the first sentence.

[Sophy Freebirds]

You are loved more than you will ever know,by someone who died to know you. He redeemed us through his blood. Nice piece.
