So many wise
and wonderful women have been, and continue to be, overlooked in this world…
Mary Magdalene is one such beautiful woman. She was a wise and
saintly princess in the line of Benjamin: one of the few who witnessed the
crucifixion of Jesu, The Messiah, King of Jews. Yet, for the last 2,000 years
she has been misrepresented in an unflattering light, and even called a
prostitute.
These last few years I have dedicated myself to researching and
writing about her life. This
song is Her song to Him. It takes us to the last supper, at which Mary
Magdalene was naturally present. And to the brutal slaying of The Lord of Love upon the gruesome scene
of the crucifixion. But Mary Magdalene never forgot. How could she? So,
here, in this poem, I capture her tale of woe.
A River So Deep
by Krishna Rose
(This is an extract from Magdalene Speaks, from “A vision of The Last Supper”)
Our
last goodbye
Was
something I'll never forget
Those
twisted hours
Where
all the grace left
"Weep
not for me I'm alive in the eyes of all of life"
He
whispered to me
As
he said his last goodbyes
My
heart like glass chalice broke
As
thunder it roared
And
lightening stroke
We
lay our eyes on him for one last time
And
cried a river
The
candles burned so bright
T'was
like a million suns
Bread
lay broken
Wine
was spilled
Without
the light of the sun
A
deep shadow was cast
The
untruthfulness of our lives
Parted
in the air
Paradise
shivered
The
day he died
A
river was born
Oh
the way she cried
"Weep
not for me, I'm alive in the eyes of all of life"

Krishna Rose: Born in England, Krishna
has been deeply moved by classic poetry, art and music. Having worked in
the music industry as touring assistant to many famous rock
stars (Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Heart, Def Leppard, Ozzy Osbourne, Fleetwood
Mac, Stevie Nicks, Richard Marx, Skid Row, Pearl Jam, Whitesnake, Robert Plant,
Dio, Cinderella, The Scorpions, Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross and
many more), she travelled the world. After many years of working in that
industry, she took a life-changing trip to India, where she met her spiritual
teacher Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Goswami Maharaja, the famed Yuga-Acharya of India. Staying
with him for some time, he told her to write and perform English songs in the
vein of great poets like Wordsworth, Yeats and Milton. Already a fan of
classic poetry, Krishna Rose set about writing and recording three CD's of
self-produced music: Beneath The Rose being
the culmination of her music realized. Her music is available on her website here, or on Amazon here. Currently Krishna Rose is penning her first novel, "MagdaleneSpeaks", which she hopes will bring together people of various faiths, in
true understanding of divine love, through the story of Mary Magdalene and
Jesu. All illustrations and accompanying music for this long awaited
book, will be by Krishna Rose. Connect with Krishna on Facebook here or Twitter.
