Final Exams

Let’s see, what were those courses
in our seminary this semester
Oh yeah, they were
Betrayal, abandonment, death,
and resurrection
At the end of three years,
following the Master,
this was the sprint to finals,
moments of confusion, or not feeling worthy
of running away, of waiting at the cross,
fearing after Friday, of hunkering down
only to feel the joy of Sunday
of that first 4th day
out beyond the grave
with the Spirit coming
to give them power
new-born Christians
about to embark on the Way
