the room became silent – v2


I must admit it, to be honest,
I went through the motions
the words of the liturgy
of the Passover Seder

we did it each year
the same, repetition,
losing the power
of our salvation story

the room became silent
those of us gathered
hearing new words
changed by Jesus

words of ownership
of a radical transformation
the ancient words now personal
“my body”, “my body”, the Lamb before us;
Christ was foreshadowing the day to come
