Haiku stations of the cross (part 2)

What grief what sadness
Should be made for your children
Please do not worry

A little longer
Though fatigued and exhausted
Prostrate upon ground

A mere man naked
All possessions were taken
Gambled to strangers

Ferric suffering
Refusing to escape pain
Hung upon a tree

The tree of life's fruit
Grotesquely does it hang down
Without any breath

Immaculate heart!
What God gave He took away
Love left in your arms

All men accept death
From ashes only ashes
And from dust to dust


(part 1 is here)


God bless,
