---


a drop of blood
wells out from a pierced wrist
glistening
it falls to the parched brown rocks
of Golgotha
I look up
and see a mangled face
and a prickly crown
tenderly
He whispers,
I love you

Jef,

Just discovered you bro...it appears you're linked to me! What a great space to hang out for a moment. Great poetry too. Email me sometime and fill me about yourself. Love to get to know another e-brother.

Nice poem...

I'm glad to see how much God is working in your life.

I pray that God would use you to influence the many others around you..

I also pray for wisdom and strength in your acads in the States..

Hmmm... this might seem strange to you, since i don't think you know who I am..

but I hope you trust in the fact that somewhere in eternity, we're family...bound together by the blood of Christ.

hmmm...i guess you're wondering why i'm leaving a comment?

Its because someone shared your testimony with me and i was so blessed with how God has transformed you.

Keep running the race!

Glenda, thanks for the compliment. :-) I'll be replying to your email, I think, this weekend. I won't have much to do at that time, I guess.

And you too, "anonymous". Thanks for encouraging me. I really appreciate it. But it'd be much better if you'll introduce yourself. Hehe. :-) Why the anonymity? There's nothing to be ashamed about being yourself, you know. ;-) God bless you!
