bloodless

bloodless body
nailed upon
the cross of wood
stained red

midday sun shines
not upon
the Light of Life
stained red

wrathful Father
strikes upon
the Son of God
stained red

crying mother
grieves upon
the Son of Man
stained red

mocking soldier
spits upon
the Prince of Peace
stained red

pious leader
steps upon
the Word of Truth
stained red

repentant thief
trusts upon
the King of Love
stained red

hopeless poet
scours upon
his sinful soul
stained red

cursed Messiah
bleeds upon
forgiven child
washed white

my Redeemer
sits upon
His rightful throne
work done
