It is a crushing pressure,
to hang the weight of the world
upon one’s shoulders.
An overwhelming anguish
that snakes its way
along the spine and
coils around the heart.
When sweat becomes
drops of blood that pour
down your skin,
you know it’s serious.
But surrender is sacrifice,
bend of knee and will.
He broke bones and flesh
to burst forth
new beginning
for us all.
