Crimson Trails Poem by Danny Speicher

(The third, and final, poem in the series entitled 'Sonnets for a Savior')

Jesus, my Lord, was beaten and was mocked
And His blood formed a crimson trail
Though His body was weak and frail
He fell as His legs violently locked
And those who once followed Him watched in shock
As He walked down the crimson trail
Though His face was quite light and pale
He now drug His cross to the skull’s dark rock
And His tears met the crimson trail
He died so that we might live forever
For us he walked the crimson trail
His promise of love will fail us never
We now follow the crimson trail
And His love for us will not be severed
