Laboring on without him

Trembling in the darkness
after the words he had shared
telling us to remember him
his sacrifice for each of us
in the bread and the wine

Now in the garden
in the stillness, the darkness
the truth of this evident
in the cries of our Lord

Shivering in the cooling night
yet shedding sweat like blood
Christ praying in the garden
sending our minds to spin

Of laboring on without him
how were we to go on
if our master was killed
as he said
how were we to survive

The anguish, confusion
palpable in the garden
not safe since the upper room
surrounded by fear and dread
