Devotion to the Cross...

poem by Peter Menkin

The Kingdom of heaven
is like
a mustard seed.
So this parable
leads these two
worshipers to seek
their treasure in God.

Their emotions for the
cross, they carry,
not so evident. No
displays in public, one
wouldn't know
this couple's devotion.

The cross: thing of torture,
ignomious end, horrible
death, mean judgment;
their lives embrace even
this part of living.

Gaining a meaning from
Christ,
saying "yes" in worship,
church
by attendance
a statement for living
their lives.

So startling large
looms faith.
The couple kneel
with bowed head.
