Prelude to Easter

How one might envision an appalling pain with a glimmer of hope

 

It was a day you could never forget.  It was the end of a world that was of old and it was the beginning of life of love.  We ate with the presence of confusion as the twelve of us broke bread and shared those unforgettable fond memories.  We talk for hours as wine flowed endlessly in our blood, laughing and chuckling so vigorously.

The next day it was all a memory for one of us was missing, taken in the heat of the night by rambunctious evil souls. They took him to another village and bounded him to die, as all of us continuously wept and wondered oh God why. They crowned him the new king as blood dripped pass his eyes and asked everyone look at your new king in the aftermath of sunrise. Cracking sounds echoed as the leather ripped across his back; the nervy sounds shuttered me from the thickness of those rugged straps.

His screams reverberation were so disquieting they rang throughout the valley from the undeniable pain induced by the spikes held him before the galley. I could not bear to watch for his life end was so riling but just before he took that last breathe I caught him smiling

Thank you Jesus

WOW! I agree with Winter! I love how you made the perspective of the disciple! And how you captured the whole idea and formed it into just three stanzas! (or paragraphs watev)=] and I like the ending a bit when you added--> "but just before he took that last breathe I caught him smiling," I kinda chuckled, but in my mind.lol. I simply love it! Great write!
God Bless!=]

Wow, Ralphy, this is beautiful! I mean really beautiful! I love the perspective from the disciple. That was so the way they were.....totally oblivious. It caught them completely unaware. You've captured that here....its just another day - then suddenly they are caught in this nightmare. Very well done!
