Once Upon a Time

Posted on April 5, 2012 by whimsygizmo

(a short story)

Mary, worn.
Joseph, torn.
Tired feet.
Crowded street.
Full womb.
No room.
……………Humble, tumbled start.

Thorned crown.
Laid down.
Aching loss.
Quiet cross.
Then, soon:
Empty tomb.
……………Full, forgiven heart.

    nice, neat – horroble words but taken for what they actually mean – the sentinment is neatly, nicely put, an original slant on a worn smooth story
