SUNFLOWERS ALONG EMMAUS ROAD
Israel Pilgrimage—1986
A field of big, bodacious sunflowers
seem to be a great cathedral choir
singing the Hallelujah Chorus
with exultation
singing the Hallelujah Chorus
with exultation
while sun-shining millions
of dazzling petal spires upon us
along Emmaus Road
It is fitting
because I am ablaze
with Jesus-joy
to be here
as I think about my newly
Resurrected Lord, vanishing
at the very breaking
of the bread
astonishing the disciples
who sat with Him
at table
Those utterly bewildered disciples
whose hearts thumped
and blazed
with glory fire
as He walked with them
as He explained to them
the Holy Scriptures
2000 years ago
somewhere
along this very road
