Poetic Thoughts - On the Cross / Every Day - by C.W. Pruitt II
posted: Oct. 20, 2006
The two poems below are couched in Christian Mysticism. The first poem by Abstract James Horn was sent out for publication. When it came back unpublished A.J.H. wadded it up and threw it on the floor. Later he picked it up and unwadded it. So, if this poem gets printed by Alan at The Broad Ripple Gazette, you are witnessing a poetic resurrection!
On the Cross
Four points of healing
while you're kneeling
praying for help
He gave his life
through all his strife
to relieve you of your pain
The tragedy of his death
his dying last breath
resurrected the
Christ in me
