MAUNDY THURSDAY

We are dark with despair and even the white

Space between words has

Turned grey.

Only yesterday

The Lord our king rode into Jerusalem

And the people fell to their knees,

Blessed.

Jerusalem was blessed.

We ran

We ran after him waving

Palm fronds,

As far   as long as

We had breath.

Our cheeks were flushed!

We were baptized with hope!

Save us Lord, we cried,     and

Did he hear?
