Crucifix

Crucifix at Saint Joseph's

I can make a cross

By crossing,

two simple sticks,

Not so a Crucifix.

Someone has hung a crucifix on the wall,

I can also see another down the hall.

I wonder who?

I wonder why?

I suppose the sentiment,

Was to be a testament.

I wonder who else like me,

Ponders an icon of twenty centuries,

Triggering thoughts of religion, history, and sociology;

Thankful for the crucifix reminding me of my theology.
