"Acres Of The Visceral"

On this hill upon hills I knelt
On the knees that bled up
A long road from dawn to day
Built is this cross from bone to ash
A feat due only to devotion
Horrid yet revered to the eye
Salient even to the heavens
Seconds grow thinner into a grain
The journey to true purity has begun
Gazed upon by the ghost of reason
I mount myself bare against this piece

I feel dense when I read this because I don't entierly get it. In the end I visual Jesus, but when you wrote this you didn't believe in him, so what gives?

The ability to have your readers visualize what you are writing is a true gift. You have accomplished that in this poem. Very nice work!
