A piece of plastic
and a piece of silver
a little metal
all attatched by a string

Gentle and delicate hanging there
Quietly
The mother of God?
No!
a beautiful necklace...
... a reminder of Jesus...
beautiful

How is all this beautiful?
the freedom,
Remembering love
desecration of life restored
renowned faith in cracked steel
Brilliantly constructed
... by a resurrection from murder

Here to make us free
While the blind are hit by cars that aren't there
And though I see,
I'm still blind
And the truth of God cuts like glass across my eyes

Corruption is caused by holes in obedience to God.

I'm not a christian man, but the depth of this poem creates meaning far beyond scripture.
Hidden meaning often requires repeat viewings......and I have read this one three times now, each time gave me more.

Thank you

Thank you tecoyah. I think what I liked most about writting this one is the fact that I was having a conversation at the same time and didn't reallize the fact that it does have hidden meaning all through it. Thats cool. thank you for pointing that out.
