On the Walk

It wasn’t where they were going,
it was the walk, the conversation, the revelation
they were on the walk, their journey
that fateful Easter day, walking out of the city
a short walk away, away from the cross, the grave
the confusion of the events, the claims,
the disbelief, the Messiah dead, but stories already
of the empty tomb, the surprises with the dawn
There they met him, anew, in wonderment
incomprehensible,, amazing, the shepherd alive
walking on the road with the savior
hearing his story anew,
with different understanding, perhaps
But full awareness, epiphany, in the blessing,
the bread and the wine. Jesus alive with them
walking on that journey
