The Garden
A stone's throw away
He knelt and began to pray
To God the Father
In deep anguished prayer
A pain of crimson stain fell
Downward to the earth
He arose from prayer
To find the hearts were willing
But the flesh was weak
He commanded flesh
Awake and for hearts to pray
Temptation waited
Betrayed with a kiss
Under the cover of night
He was arrested
He knelt and began to pray
To God the Father
In deep anguished prayer
A pain of crimson stain fell
Downward to the earth
He arose from prayer
To find the hearts were willing
But the flesh was weak
He commanded flesh
Awake and for hearts to pray
Temptation waited
Betrayed with a kiss
Under the cover of night
He was arrested

Attempting telling of the Gethsemane night in haikus. I say attempt as the first and third verses do not exactly match the 5-7-5 syllables on line formula.
