Lectionary Poem: Wilderness Road
Jerusalem to Gaza,
this was a wilderness road,
wild again.
On a wilderness road,
lurking danger plots and waits,
violent death.
On a wilderness road,
strangling vines grasp hungrily,
taking goodness.
On a wilderness road,
we might discover an outcast,
puzzling scripture.
On a wilderness road,
apostles suddenly appear,
holy water.
On a wilderness road,
The Loving Vine embraces,
branches abide.
This is what I wish.
