It Is Finished

Now I am set free

My mortality gifted in trust

 

A leap of faith into the void

Eternity waits beyond the abyss

 

My blood and breath have gone from me

But I am more than just a man on a tree

 

My passion is spent

My journey nearly complete

 

I have cracked open the sky

And a new age begins

 

It will be with you

Despite your sins

 

There is no going back

And I know I must treasure this time

 

As there is now only forwards

And to love you was my dearest wish

 

It makes it easier to now approach fate

And my death with only a traitor's kiss

 

 

There is just this single work today, because what could I possibly follow it with. Interestingly, this is an iPhone image, and not my usual practise. I use my iPhone for reference shots usually. I did not have my camera this day, not expecting to pass by Wilmington in Sussex, UK, but events meant that I did, and I stopped because I needed to. The light was just so, so I took the shot.

I returned, many times, with my camera, but could never repeat it. And you never can, can you? And is that not perfect in the end? He has gone. Whatever I do, even now, would not be the same. The light was perfect, the sky was brilliant, I was there at the right time in exactly the right place.

So here it is, my work for Good Friday.
