Crucifix Poem by Anna Akhmatova

Crucifix

Rating: 3.0


Do not cry for me, Mother, seeing me in the grave.

I
This greatest hour was hallowed and thandered
By angel's choirs; fire melted sky.
He asked his Father:"Why am I abandoned...?"
And told his Mother: "Mother, do not cry..."

II
Magdalena struggled, cried and moaned.
Peter sank into the stone trance...
Only there, where Mother stood alone,
None has dared cast a single glance.

This brought so many emotions. Death of a child....hardest blow to mother.....love and concern of a child so well expressed.

beautifully penned! The gospel of John 19: 25-27 says, there stood by the cross of Jesus, His mother, & His mother's sister Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalane. When He saw His mother and and His disciple John standing by, He said to His mother " Woman, behold your son" & to John, " " Behold, your mother" .
