the full moon
lights my sleeplessness
wrestling for comfort
I remember
tonight is Passover
Passover!
my Lord prayed in the garden
the full moon
lighting His face
glistening on the great drops of sweat
as He wrestled with God
Father,
if it is possible
take this cup from Me
Passover!
1400 years earlier
the full moon
lit the bloodstained doorposts of Israel
as God’s Spirit
passed over Egypt
the Hebrews were spared
the cup of God’s wrath
not what I want,
Father,
but Your will be done
could you not keep watch with Me
for one hour?
I wrestle to pray
in the moonlight
Christ’s blood stains my doorpost
I am spared
the cup of God’s wrath
was poured out
on Him
(2010)
