Good Friday
[It was tough to think of something appropriate for Good Friday, but I like this stark image of a rough, barren tree. Though I don't usually write poems, it seemed a good time to give it a try.] 
The city's cool evening air carries the blend
Of frankincense from the temple
And some 250,000 passover meals.
.
A myriad of souls in this great town are blind and deaf to The events unfolding before them Despite a quarter-million clues..
The sons of men can hardly imagine The begotten Son's anguish, But His Father is aware..
One solitary drop splashes Upon an oblivious soil which absorbs it. Was it sweat or tear or even blood?.
And so begins the great exchange And all heaven leans forward Anxious and ready to intervene,.
But the Unblemished Lamb Yields with perfect submission To the Father's great plan..
Sky Watch Friday! photo taken by my wife, Mrs. Craver.

That is a stunning photo. It captures the awe and aloneness of Good Friday, to be sure. So does your poem. God bless.
Excellent post, beautiful photo and a great moment in your words.
Good thoughts, and words. Nicely done. And very God honoring.

I'm sorry ... about being that fast ... this one is also beautiful and with very nice words.
You give us as a gift a peaceful feeling.
Thank you for that and for your kind words on my SKY WATCH.
Easter Greetings to Mr. and Mrs. Carver.
Marvellous the words but also strong blue the Sky Watch Friday.

I too love the starkness of the tree. I have an old mighty oak in my yard that I capture quite often in my photos. Nice blue in yours - kudos to your wife!
The teacher in me must tell you your poem is beautiful.
Have a Blessed Easter!
I had to come back, I forgot - the photo underneath of your superimposed moon and purple is a Skywatch of sorts all it's own!
I love the sci-fi feel of it.
Very nice words and a great picture.

I'm wondering why you don't write more poems - that is fantastic! Wonderful post.

The strong blue sky, gives in silhouette the tree, dark tones and him makes the photograph and post splendidly!
