Note to readers
I realise now what made me write this.I was recalling a viaduct where the railway crosses the River Kent and the train then goes to Carlisle.From this side one can see the mountains of the Lake District.That makes me think of
I will lift up mine eyes to the hills
From whence cometh my strength
And also it must in my unconscious mind be associated with Calvary as well.But I didn’t realise until I began writing.
As a child I remember being on a train crossing the wide river.I loved it
I saw Jesus on a wooden bridge
Carrying his Cross while all alone
I wonder now if this was sacrilege
In the past no doubt I was a witch
People hit me, mocked me with their stones
I saw Jesus on a wooden bridge
He looked so sad but did not bear a grudge
Soon his flesh would wither on his bones
I wonder if my writing’s sacrilege
On ward to the mountains Jesus trudged
I think I heard a sound like a slight groan
I saw Jesus on a wooden bridge
With many tears his human face was smudged
What was wrong when this world was designed?
I wonder if my writing’s sacrilege
His holy spirit is now unconfined
Where will we hear the whisper,small, divine?
I saw Jesus on a wooden bridge
I wonder now if this was sacrilege
