On the Walk – v2

It wasn’t where they were going,
it was their walk, the conversation, 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, His grave
confusion of the events, the claims,
disbelief, the Messiah dead, but stories already
of an empty tomb, surprises, miracles with the dawn

There they met Christ, anew, in wonderment
incomprehensible, amazing, our Shepherd alive
walking on the road with the Savior
hearing His story anew, new eyes,
with different understanding, perhaps
But full awareness, epiphany, in His blessing,
the bread and the wine. Jesus alive with them
walking on that journey, on that journey home.
