their shouts became cries

their shouts became cries

the climate changing;

the joy of Palm Sunday

became their cries of Good Friday.

their shouts of “Hosanna!”

of the triumphal entrance

the Messiah entering Jerusalem

before the Passover.

their cries of “Crucify Him!”

echoing on that Friday

the judgment on the people

resounding off the Stone Pavement.

their shouts of joy

became their cries of anger

the Messiah before them;

but they would not believe.

a veil of her sorrow – v9

the strands of gossamer

the web a fabric, pulled,

woven together

by an unknown artist

a covering, a veil

over the face of Jesus

a veil of her sorrow

her terrible suffering

looking down through the fabric

the web before her

staring down at Jesus

her first-born son

a veil of her sorrow – v8

the gauze of sadness

under strands of gossamer

woven together

forming a net,

a covering, a veil

a shroud over her vision

a veil of her sorrow

looking down,

into her Son’s face

through the fabric

the web before her

staring down at Christ

A fire aglow – v3

a blaze that does not consume

a light burning brightly

a fire aglow

yet a liquid

to be offered

to be poured

living fire of the Spirit

growing, spreading

when we empty ourselves,

a light, fire,

our vessels,

filled, poured,

burning everywhere

a veil of her sorrow – v7

a shroud over her vision

a burial cloth of grief

the strands of gossamer

woven together

a story of this moment

this day in her life

a covering, a veil

a veil of her sorrow

looking down

through the fabric

the web before Mary

staring down at Jesus

how she must have anguished

wishing this wasn’t happening

the weight of her son

heavy on her body

wished something had obscured

what she witnesses so clearly

The Growing Seed – v3

Faithful, though a mystery,

trusting in God

scattering seeds, love,

the Word of God, the story

the message of the Christ, of love

hope for eternity

for the whole world.

The growing seed,

the way of it unknown

day and night growing

where the seeds have been sown

growing within human hearts

in inexorable ways,

a harvest to come.

the plot to kill Jesus

seeing the peoples’ reaction

at this miracle of Jesus

under the nose of the leaders

of the priest of God’s people

the plot to kill Jesus

hatched within the Sanhedrin

after He raised Lazarus

from the world of the dead.

just beyond Bethphage

just beyond Bethphage

within a Sabbath’s walk

the home of Lazarus, his sisters,

in the town of Bethany

Christ’s greatest miracle

raising His friend from the dead

under the watchful eyes

of the Jews, the Temple,

the leaders of the people

proving He was a threat
