Good Friday Meditation to Christ Our Lord
The day You died, Your blood poured down,
a mighty fugue,
arpeggios streaming from Golgotha,
counterpoint of loss and salvation,
obligato of redemption,
crescendo and decrescendo,
a chorus of love from the cross.
A Scherzo of Stars
. . .in which you shine
like stars in the universe.
Philippians 2:15
In tidal pools, stars
the color of pomegranates
cling to the same rock
to the same ledge on the cliff
their chapter and verse appetites
satisfied, satisfied, satisfied
while their brilliant sisters
swing through the night,
performers who have
put the score away –
free now to glory, glory,
glory in the son.
Thank you for writing these and sharing them with us! Powerful ways of thinking about being made new! My favorite lines “performers who have put the score away” and “arpeggios streaming from Golgotha.” Thanks again!
