Threads of Grace: A Tapestry Unveiled #242

Threads of Grace: A Tapestry Unveiled In hallowed whispers, ancient rites speak, Sacred threads, tales of divinity they seek. A priest, in solemn garb, stands alone, Guarding the thin veil, to the divine shown. His robe, untouched, bears sacred weight, A testament to a bond, ancient and great. Yet, in the cross's shadow, a figure stands, In simplicity robed, fate in His hands. Seamless garment, unity's weave, A symbol of a realm, we scarcely conceive. Dice cast, lots drawn, around Him they bide, For a piece of the divine, their hearts divide. Jerusalem mourns, through her streets a cry, As the priest's garments tear, tradition awry. This act of desecration, a new dawn spells, Where the tearing of the veil, grace foretells. Upon Golgotha's height, cruelty's throne, The seamless spared, division unknown. "Father, forgive them," the prayer ascends, A plea for all, as ignorance bends. The rending of priestly robes, a stark divide, Between sacred guards and grace, side by side. Old thresholds guarded, now a path clear, To boundless grace, drawing near. In humility robed, sacrifice's embrace, A narrative of unity, love's trace. A poem of hope, in every stitch, every thread, Where reconciliation's verses, eternally spread. -Written by Steven G. Lee
