Triggered by the teachings of the cross
Triggered by that which is lost
To lose is the gain
What have we won
Pleasure without pain
Simplicity gone
Triggered by a simpler time
When the cross was born
And community's thrived
Where bread and dripping was meat
And children played out in the street
Where hardship found a happy home
Where love was tough
And no one groaned
Triggered by the cost
Of life
Without the cross.

Valiantstar… this carries that reflective tension…looking back at what was and weighing it against what is. That sense of something lost along the way comes through clearly, and it lingers. Strong, thoughtful piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thank you. It was inspired by watching a show about food!
Well written, your poem explores the tension between past simplicity and present complexity, reflecting on the transformative power of the teachings of the cross.
