A Fateful Day
on a fateful day
a young man died
as he breathed in, took his last sigh
angels watched from
purest celestial skies
He relinquished
His Spirit
In a pain, deep & burning
At that moment,
the universe stopped turning
to watch & see
what would happen next
what for mankind would be
their second step
would we take notice
follow in obedience
or just turn our backs
with only a shrug
or a mild grimace
never before in man’s history
had for us been such a day
so blistering
with meaning, intensity
when God once more
brought back to earth
His clearest sanity
