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
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
