What a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. It was a quick read, but it packed a punch and had a lot of passion. You did a fantastic job at conveying the message without any ambiguity. Keep up the good work and keep creating.

Nice poem that portrays that a cross is a prerequisite for a crown.

The sunset
The dark night"

A lot of melancholic episodes at the seaside watching the sunset...i've been felt

This poem also reminds me of the lines "freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose/nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free" from "Me and Bobby McGee", a song that I think was written by Janis Joplin but I am more familiar with Roger Miller's version of the song.
"...I'd discuss the holy books with the learned man...and that would be the sweetest thing of all...would it foil some vast, eternal plan..." Hamick Fiddler on the Roof

A great poem with a great meaning, the satisfaction absolutely comes from the feeling that you really tried hard, did your best so you deserve it...

This is all what life is all about. The picture of all rossiness of life is unreal.

Beautiful poem! I also love your other poem “I Cried Today”. Both of those made me emotional. You have honestly expressed your deepest pain. Remember that one day: “God will wipe every tear from your eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”‭‭ Revelation‬ ‭21‬:‭4‬ ‭

Maybe the beauty of reality is the blood
This part reminds me of my mom who shed blood just to brought me in this world.

Everyone is born and everyone dies. However, the struggle through life, ups, and downs is what makes life worthwhile. If tears are not shed in joy or sadness, then you are not really feeling and that is tragic. This poem is the epitome of this in exceptional words.
