AT THE VIA DOLOROSA
Israel
Pilgrimage—2006
Twelve feet
below
the hustle
and bustle and hawking
the crowds,
the spices, the wares
of the
present Via Dolorosa
lies an
ancient pathway
of trodden
stones
Yeshua walked
upon
in sandaled
feet
on His way to
Calvary
2000 years
ago
ancient
stones
stumbling
stones
stones Yeshua,
weak and weary
likely fell
upon as He carried
the cumbersome
crossbeam
along that
terrible path
to
Crucifixion
I remove a
shoe
to feel the
coolness
of hallowed
ground
against my
bare sole
We begin
singing
Were You There When They
Crucified My Lord
and tremble
tremble, tremble
at the
reading
of the
Suffering Servant
in Isaiah 53
Millenniums
seem to
disappear
It almost
feels
like it’s
happening here
now—
There’s
something
timeless
about it
isn’t there?
