On Calvary Hill Jesus' blood drips from the cross..
With the raindrops it mingles.. and pours
into ruts before noon .. made by the dragging cross...
then into rivulets it goes
which to creeks flow
and to streams grow
.. to rivers.. to great rivers.. to bays and gulfs
til finally in ocean seas it merges.
The blood is everlasting.
Even this evening it enters as the residue..
in pine resin.. and mornglobes of dew.
Beetles bib and bees sup
it from each buttercup.
Hummingbirds sip it
in each trumpet flower goblet
It fills the cheeks of little plover
Alice
draughting of a cherrybloom chalice.
Each chrysalis is washed
in the crucible of Christ's rainblood.
Now winds are winding round cocoons
unwinding.
Each lake, every pond, yea every puddle
and rain drop.. is the Holy Grail
holding the Savior's
everlingering blood
and reflecting the SunSon of God.
