The Cross and The Crown
by Jeff Mason — Read all 207 poems by Jeff Mason
Sometimes these things hit us, in the middle of the night, from the various images and stories we've heard. This is my holiday offering. May you all have a wonderful Christmas and any other holiday that you celebrate at this time of year.

I saw a figure in the distance
holding fast to a cross... that he once bore
I couldn't quite make out his face,
But I saw the crown of thorns he wore
Kneeling there before the cross,
I saw his tears fall to the ground
I sensed his sadness, pain and loss
And yet... I sensed a love profound
He wept for all the human race;
Their hearts so filled with wretched sin...
And as I finally saw his face,
It said he'd die for us again.
