Crucifix and the Duck (c) 2010 Dayvid Graybill From "The Crucifix and the Duck" photo series

Finding Peace He carried the wooden cross As far up the hill as he could Looking into the distance Not knowing where he stood. She came up slowly beside him Placed her hand on his heart Together, one with the earth No one could tear them apart. She stayed strong by his side The whole world gathered ‘round With hate and fear in their eyes And scorning his thorny crown. “Mary,” he barely whispered “Can you hold me for just a while?” She kissed him and cried And it was there that he died. Her broken heart was heavy As she picked up the cross And carried on up the hill Feeling so deeply her loss. Looking over the top of the cliff She silently prayed for release Heaving the cross up over the side The world was swept up in peace. 2010 © Dayvid Graybill

It takes alot of energy to carry hate
and any any negative preconceiving notions
which is ultimately draining to the person(s)
or its collective group(s)
but unfortunately the world will never have
a wholeness to peace, but written here
it can be embraced...

...gathering lost artifacts
thrown from cliffs edge...Vickie

What true Christian poetry should look like...not spoon fed and shoved down our throats. It takes a Mennonite Pastor from my Colorado state (smiling big in my home town tonight not very far from you) with a big heart and old ways to establish in one month what others have been trying to force upon us for years. Kudos!

Love n' Stuff,
Sage

It is high time for all of the world to be one; the prophets (Jesus included) have preached of this "brotherhood of man" in love and peace for this planet for eons. It is sad that humanity has evolved so little in that direction.

I just left the above comments on someone else's poem a moment ago. Somehow, it seems applicable to the theme that you share witin your verses here. Thank you, Dayvid. Love and peace,

Regis

A fine piece of writing, but I'm curious. Why would you place this poem as 'fantasy' I admit, I'm a little slow on the uptake...thanks.

Cheers,
Dan
