Couplets From a Broken Window

Christ

Couplets From A Broken Window

by Mary Harwell Sayler

 

In a war-torn home, a picture of Christ Jesus

holds a nimbus

 

around His head, facing the top

arch of the window, looking up,

 

as though He cannot believe

the fiery rain received

 

a few weary months ago. The pane

of glass reveals little trace of the pain

 

shown in His face at this distressing sight,

lit by an artist’s touch and such sharp shards of light.
