Passion led
man’s life to spill
His love
on Calvary’s hill
Passion fueled
an angry mob
insults and rocks
cruelly lobbed
Passion moved
the earth to shake
sky grew dark
bonds would break
Passion cried
in a tomb he lay
night filled hearts
but we await the day
This poem is in response to the prompt at Verse First/Poet’s United. The prompt is “Passion.” I don’t often write directly on my blog of my faith, but it is what holds me up on good days and on the very worst.

Passion led – man’s life to spill –His love – on Calvary’s hill – Beautiful poem and expressed so well. Love that image of the Passion in the Father’s heart compelling the Son forward. The cross is the greatest moment in History, the apex of everything. Brilliantly written.
