Poem for 1st Sunday in Lent Luke 4:1-13


Sometimes we know
We just know
And yet we strive for all that is in us
For those things
------------- thoughts
----------------- directions
that will lead us down
-------- the path
-------------- we wish not to go.
That will lead us to the one
-------------- we wish not to serve,
but we are drawn
by all the humanness within us
we are drawn
until
we find the strength
---- somehow
and the presence of mind
---- from somewhere
to say
Hear my people
---- The Lord is our God
---- The Lord is One
and in that moment
we know
---- we just know
all the power
---- prestige
-------- and glory
the world has to offer
---- are only fleeting
a moments spotlight
---- exchanged
--------- for the joy
that comes from the God who created all the Joy
--------------------------------------------- life
and calls us to put down our walls
of glory
for the joy of life
lived to its fullness
in Christ
