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.

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.
