Florence Pietà

Crafted in marble
Over a period of years
Discarded by the master
For it's impurity smear

Newly down from the cross
Lay Jesus Christ
In the arms of faith
Thrice

Nicodemus
And Mary Magdalene
With the Virgin Mary
Complete the scene

This sculptured beauty
In rebuild recommission
Completed by Calcagni
Is Michelangelo's
The Deposition


  My entry in Raul's contest " The Deposition "
