Christ the Redeemer

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: August 13, 2016

A means of grace overshadowing Rio…

Christ the Redeemer
overshadows Rio
arms outstretched enfolding all
who welcome his embrace.

Christ the Redeemer
speaks (although he's silent)
timeless words that comfort all
who long to know they're loved.

Christ the Redeemer
is more than just a symbol.
This stately soapstone sculpture
offers all a means of grace.
