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

“Sensing the Passion”
series of poems based on
segment on how babies,
when they are wearing a brain cap,
to do EEG measurements, don’t always
have the visual cortex light up
when they see something but sometimes
have the auditory cortex light up,
as if they are hearing the image, the colors.
at about 6:15 minutes to about 8:45  minutes
