Bang!
Slash! Slice!
Tearing flesh.
Sobs and screams.
Cries of anguish.
Broken body,
Dragging along.
Golgotha:
Place of Skulls.
Clang! Clash!
Nails pierce,
Skin squishes.
“Stop them!”
-a mother's cry.
Blood raining down.
Crown of thorns.
King of the Jews.
“Father, forgive them!
They know not what they do!”
Dark sky at noon.
Weeping and wailing.
“It is finished.”

For those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will fly on wings like eagles, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
