hearing the ancient words – v2

hearing the ancient words

the Emmaus story

of those two disciples

on the long road home

not far from Jerusalem

but miles from Palm Sunday

the darkness and confusion

in spite of the words of the women

this tumultuous Easter morning

hearing the ancient words

putting ourselves in their place

lost, on the road, heading home

trying to imagine what they felt

when Jesus came up beside them

when the risen Lord walked with them

trying to imagine their amazement

the simple act breaking the bread

when Christ’s presence was revealed
