Charcoal Fireside

Poem written about the betrayal at the cross and the path to repentance.

Pain and betrayal at the fireside

Memories of grief and shame

Desperation this place provides

As a man was beaten lame

 

The c**k crowed and the savior died

The symbol set in stone

Of betrayal at the fireside

And no time to atone

 

After death the Savior rose

Than retuned once and twice

But the betrayal in the charcoals

Was fixed in the thrice

 

A lost trip for fish at sea

Was on its way home

The savior stood at the shore

Past sins were atoned
