"Llanto sobre Cristo muerto," Pedro Millan, 1490, Museo de Bellas Artes, Sevilla
For the One Deep Breath prompt "mystery," haiku linked together as one poem:
They wept when He died
this great man of mystery
who offered such hope
No explanation
for His miracles performed
faith is the answer
The best example:
rising from the dead to give
reason to believe
His suffering so
that others might live; now more
miracles needed*
*This madness of war:
dark time for humanity
as we pray for peace
Oh Tara, how beautiful and moving. Do you mind if I print it off and put it in between the pages of my Bible?

I really enjoy your technique of linking a series of haiku together to form a poem.
Your words ring so true: Faith is the answer.

So many hopes dashed by the crucifixion - yes the answer is faith, faith that we can and will make a difference, and praying for peace is the begiining and the way. I loved this, and I too needed to read this one.
