"Crack" @2014 Michael D. Lancaster

Crack!
And the Stone is rolled away
Crack!
And the fight is o'er
Crack!
And the thorns
Pierce skull
Crack!
And the trial is over
Crack!
And the blood sweat
Hits the ground
Crack!
And bread breaks and becomes body
Crack!
Wine meets lips and changes to blood
Crack!
Goes the whip that
Cleared the Temple
Crack!
Goes the alabaster
Jar of costly perfume
Crack!
Goes the woman's
Prison wall at the well
Crack!
Goes the rocks
Falling from the sinner's hands
Who want to stone
The adulterous woman but not the man
Crack!
Goes Bart's darkness
Crack!
Goes the storm on
The Sea of Galilee
Crack!
Goes the loaves and fishes
And fed over 5,000
Crack!
Goes the rocks on the
Hill at Nazareth
When they remember Jesus'
Sisters and Brothers
Crack!
Goes the
Teachers' minds
Because of this
Twelve year old
Son of Man
Crack!
Goes the eyes of
Simon and Anna
At the Sight of Him
Crack!
Goes the heavens
Over the shepherds' fields
As the choir of angels
Sang Hallelujah,
Centuries before Handel
Crack!
Goes the water
When Mary's son
Was born
Crack!
Goes the Veil
Between heaven and earth
When the Spirit
Dances with Mary
Crack!
Goes the dark chaos
And then . . .
                     There
                               Was
                                      Light!
