Vignette-Florence Pieta

They took Him down from the cross,
Joseph,both Mary's,mourned their loss,
From any angle,it was 'finished'-
In dead marble,the moment preserved,
Yet by living power,in Him, we're cured.

Inspired by Raul's photos of the Deposition

Like the contrast of preserved in marble but cured by living power. Keep the magical pen flowing. Thanks for stopping by my poems and commenting. Sara
