Down Emmaus Way // Easter Sunday
Divine Study - Part 3
I couldn’t decide between the two — different tones entirely. Let me know which you like best.
Oh would my heart so burn as theirs
That heard the scriptures read that day;
Inspired in hope, allayed from fear.
Would that this heart could burn as theirs
Who walked beside the King-Who-Bears
On journey down Emmaus way
Oh would my heart so burn as theirs
That heard the scriptures read that day.
-N.C-J
“That must have been— was that our Lord?
My heart still burns from scriptures read,
he so expounded on the word.”
“Yes, yes, my friend, that was the Lord!
The girls were right (Pete will be floored):
It’s Jesus risen from the dead!”
“Let’s tell the group, we’ve seen our Lord.
Our hearts still burn from scriptures read.”
-N.C-J
Happy Easter.
This is the final poem in my triplet of triolets for Holy Week1. Part 1, Palm Sunday, is here. Part 2, Good Friday, is here. Thank you for reading. Of course, thank you as always for sharing this post with others and your thoughts with me!
Coming up in May is Mother’s Day in North America, and so with that sub-theme continues my series Blood Ties.
Today still only counts as one!
