Lenten Poem VII
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, Wednesday, the Day of Silence
Even in silence,
in quiescence, you speak.
Jerusalem drained you,
Bethany renewed your spirit.
From one...oppostion,
the other...loving devotion.
Before your sacrifice,
friendship beckoned you
to loving comfort
love, your quest.
