If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away---Henry David Thoreau

Puzzle Peace: a poem for Good Friday by Leo Hartshorn

















missing words
numbered bones
none broken
nothing spoken
except for
cross words
empty spaces
tortured faces
numbered
three down
one a cross

puzzled look
on one man
god forsaken
words mistaken
message penned
in red
f-o-r-g-i-v-e-n-e-s-s
spelled out
between
two across
one down
