Emmaus Road Memory

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
