I saw a vision
the sky dark
yet still afternoon
where is the great Light
that brightens the day?
nowhere to be found...
the lightning flashes
before me, a crimson mass,
possibly a face
beyond recognition
another strike of light
confirms human countenance
----------who are you?
soaked with perspiration
bruised and beaten
naked and striped
----------are you alive?
suspended, on display
outstretched palms
reaching for the unreached
I tune my ears
to the silence of the Lamb
laboring for every breath
now closer to death
----------who did this to you?
darkness returns
the earth seems to quake
with another bolt
the red-caked eyes
are opening
blinking away blood
and tears
flames of pain
----------what is your name?
cracked swollen lips quiver
thunder, the only reply
lightning bolts revolt
darkness has pierced the Sun
the clouds now diminish
I can no longer see...
----------It is finished.
