Poetry
Slowing our steps
measured steps, of remembrance
pilgrims, yoking our lives with Christ
and with the first disciples
journeying with them, his face to Jerusalem
Slowing our steps
to Bethany, to Bethpage
to a donkey’s stable
to the Mount of Olives
Slowing our steps
Walking with them, in preparation
sitting with them in the upper room
sharing the Passover, in reflection
the new words, the bread and the wine
Slowing our steps
the coolness of the garden
the deepening night
the master in prayer
Quickening our steps
running naked from the garden
fear and despair
the shepherd at their mercy
Slowing our steps, stealth
hiding, in the courts watching
the trial, the judgment
the suffering of our Lord
Slowing our steps, ponderous
following, tears in our eyes
walking the dusty road
leading to the skull
to the cross
Our steps at an end,
standing at the cross
watching in disbelief
watching in despair
Christ dying on the cross
the world in darkness
Our steps leading, slowing our steps
leading to the grave
the body laid
the stone closing the tomb
Our steps, now in prayer, kneeling
being as they were,
wondering what will be
our Master in the tomb.
