i gaze

upon the face

mirrored on walls

in sacred rooms

light from flickering flames

illuminate the figure

suspended on a stake

flesh pierced, trickle of blood

drips down smooth temples

was not your

life worth more living

then dying for me

come back, come back

like a thief in the night

turn the tables

in the temple 

once more

A sublime vision of hope... "the return" inspires and enchants.

I salute You, Poet.

Well written - you packed a lot into such a short verse. Plus you ask the loaded question, that recently when I watched "J. of Nazareth" in DVD I actually thought of: with all he did in his earthly visit you wonder why he had to "die for us". Miracles aplenty, and yes, I too often love that scene in the film when he "turns the tables in the temple" - he asked us to do the miracles He did: "I guess we're a bunch of slackers!"
Interesting write, Later, michael guy
