Hearing Purple - v3

a tableau alive, shot before me

overwhelming my senses;

triggering my brain

awash in Morning

hearing Purple

synapses firing;

my auditory cortex

shouting in praise

joy in Sunrise

warming of Morning;

awash with colors

rich to my tongue

not just seeing, an image only,

that is far too limiting;

tasting Dawn and

hearing Purple

The grit of His Passion

Being there with them

tasting the dust

drinking in the moment

written for all of us

Not just the printed page

watching in the present

going much deeper

drinking His Passion

Hearing His blood

smelling His pain

seeing the shame

the agony of Christ

Hearing colors,

tasting His life

His sacrifice for us

alive in that dark night

The grit of His Passion

more synapses firing

awash with the senses

our bodies alive

Tasting the martyrdom

drinking of His sorrow

emotions rising

not understanding it all

of judgment, BLASPHEMY!

The words accusing Jesus

fast, dramatic movement

shudders on the web
