restoring the jesus monument

suffering from corrosive
bronze disease
streaked with blue-green patina
the Ignorance from the veins in
his hands to the ribs in his socks

who fought, who bled,
who died, the corrosion
so obscure it'll take another
myth born for the holy restoration.

how great my own life would be if never myself
fell into the pith of ignorance and yet...also

I have discovered my own ignorance...
it is a blade we all have brandished
and we all have grown to discover it
and usually it is easier to see in others
over our own...

Love Your Deep Thoughts
Penetrating...Vickie

Makes me wonder, is it Jesus, or mans interpretation? Only recently is the truth beginning to surface, one tiny pearl at a time...

Be always safe,
Karen
