Poem for John 10:22-30 4th Sunday of Easter

Questions have a way of framing the answer

--(how long?)

of saying

--only these possibilities exist

Within the framework of my mind

--And thought          

----And expectation

How long?

--(tell us plainly Lord)

How long before what I expect to happen

--will happen?

Never is the answer

--And Now

Never and Now

--before I hear His voice

Never and Now

--before I am shown the way

Never and Now

--before I hear the words

--already spoken

His sheep will follow

--Because they hear

His sheep will follow

--Because they know

His sheep will follow

--on to new life

--and love

many will not

they are too busy framing the question

to hear the answer
