His pictures – v2


Like a wake for a loved one
so is our altar
icons of the Passion
the sanctuary dimmed
a light upon his cross
the palms of Sunday
ashes from that Wednesday

The basin and the pitcher
the platen and the cup
His pictures, symbols
icons of his life;
The crown of thorns
and the cross
his walk here with us
