The Face of Love




a profound silence
in this shrouded mystery
of luminous dark

beaten for mankind 
crowned with piercing thorns
hung broken to die

though abused and killed
His defeat is victory  
for the Love of God

 a bursting of hope  
as light shimmers through darkness 
 His majesty shines

though hurt and abused
this defeat is victory  
in the name of Love 

with His eyes resting 
revealing my heart and soul
this Face gives comfort

eyes slowly open though
lids be glued with blood and tears
bringing joy and peace

words never spoken
tell of deep, dark mystery
in this still silence

this Love penetrates
springs up a bubbling Spirit
opening Sheol's door

 victory bursts forth  
light overcomes all darkness 
 His majesty shines

a Voice beckons me
offering to show the Way
humbly, i follow

    a poet is born
    from the ashes of deep pain
    you are one of us
