Poem based on John 10:1-10 4th Sunday of Easter

I hear the cry from all sides

                come follow

                See how I have put together the facts

                Hear the story I have woven

                airtight

that sounds by all reason

                like truth

I yearn to follow

                but where

I hear the cry from within

                (I have come)

and know that voice

                I see not

                I hear not

the seamless reason

of carefully crafted facts

I know only the one who was

on the cross

                (that you might have life)

Who tasted death

                And life

                Before me

Who has risen

                To bring life to me

                Peace to me

Hope to me

that I may now shout for Joy

and Live

                (life in its fullness)

Life
