This guy pulls up
As we two walk to Emmaeus.
Not intrusive, courteous
Remains silent.
Allows us to complete our
Venting about horrible
Events in Jerusalem.
And on that bloody Hill
Crucifixion. A cry out for
Relief unheeded.
And now the three days
Have expired.
His precious Promise
Hangs in the air, impotent
Oh we have gotten
To our stopover.
No, Friend Abide with us
Sup with us.
Who knows what might
Start with our Conversation?
The Friend takes the bread
And breaks it
In a familiar fashion…
