Reflection Zone: 'Christ of St John of the Cross'

CHRIST OF ST JOHN OF THE CROSS.

And still his head is bowed,
The cross uncluttered now
By family and friends,
Adrift;
Unearthly brightness ghosts his outstretched arms,
God's well-belovèd son.

The storm is spent.
No ripples break the water's calm.
Two fishermen seek comfort
In their nets
And, in the eastern sky,
A new day dawns.
                                               c.Dee Yates.
(Inspired by the painting 'Christ of St. John of the Cross' by Salvador Dali. 
This wonderful painting can be seen in the 
Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum).
