Lenten Poem IV

Inspired by the work of Andrew Roycroft (pastor and poet from Northern Ireland), I am attempting to offer Lenten poems in the style of medieval poets writing thirty-three poems, each thirty-three words long; one word for each year of Jesus' life.  Collectively, they serve as commentary on the life of Jesus, focusing on His final week.  Blessings.

IV

You wove words

into tapestries,

plaited pictures

for the mind's eye.

You, who used words to

command the universe into becoming,

possessed the command 

of language to 

communicate transcendant truths

to finite minds.
