PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

We are always somewhere
   on the road to Emmaus,
   heads bowed against the sting
   of wind-whipped sand.
   Concerned with making miles
   before the end of day
   we do not always hear
   the summons sent to us.
   What does it mean to realize
   resurrection from the dead?
   The answer is never
   all that clear and the road
   makes so many twists and turns
   through Gaza, Guatemala,
   Colombia, Rwanda, Israel and Sudan.
   All we really know is that
   we must follow where it leads
   and only stop to make repairs
   along the way
   until we meet once again
   in Galilee.
