JESUS' FIG TREE

He did belittle you.. but soon he'll bebig you..
and in the spring with blooms he will wig you..
In summer he'll summon jade garb to resprig you..
And this fall with figged twigs he'll refig you

PEACEFUL MASTER
*
How did the words of the Peaceful Master
become the tirades of warmonger pastors?

*

SHROUD OF TURIN
*
The sunset dyed red cloud like Jesus' Turin shroud
rinsed by night of blood in purity shines outloud.

ROSES WITHIN HEARTS

*

Juan Diego
has been canonized..
his holiness
recognized
.. and the roses
which fell out
of his cloak
in winter
revealing
a painting of
Mary..
are not as great
a miracle
as the roses
of compassion
awakening in
the winter hearts
of execution governors.

*

JESUS, WILLING SLAVE
 *
Jesus of His disciples
is the willing slave
answering
today's prayers
as He apostle
feet didt lave.
