Pieta

PIETA


She is immaculate

           In  birth,

        In stone,

And in her sorrow.

            **********

She was Chosen to

         Give her son life,

         To watch him suffer and die,

And to hold him in death.

            **********

In the immaculate stone

            Her suffering is eternal,

            Her sorrow is eternal,

And that is the pity.

            **********

A memento mori

            That we all,

            Come tomorrow,

Must suffer her sorrow.
