garden moment

in the place
where He was crucified
there was a
garden
tonight
our fellowship
joined together
in a tenebrae service
one loaf of bread
one cup of wine
shared slowly
thoughtfully
prayerfully
silently
scriptures read
one by one
candles extinguished
one by one
people left
one by one
only darkness remained
what is it like
to grieve unto death
alone
in a garden
what is it like
to hang
alone
innocent
and naked
on a cross
one by one
people left
only darkness remained
