Light Carrying




Betrayed
bound
forsaken
rushed
accused questioned cursed slapped spat upon punched
taunted dragged ridiculed lashed humiliated condemned
You staggered
blindly under
the great weight
of splintered beam
slamming to
dust mingled
red with agony
and no one
to help.
O my Lord,
that I
could have
carried
Your cross.
Jesus, I
couldn’t then.
I can now.
