Lenten Poem IX

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.

Passion Week - Thursday, The Upper Room

The night was

a time for festivity.

A banquet table -

mirth, laughter and vivacity.

Friends, brothers truly,

young, full of vitality.

Thirteeen brethren pledged.

Two in contraposition.

One, trust pillaged.

One, humanity's redemption.
