Sonnet On The Upper Room; April 13, 2017
When Christ departed from that upper room,
He was inviting danger to His doom---
or so, to the eleven, it had seemed
that night. But none of them, then, could have dreamed
the coming fullness of His Victory
over sin's latent, deadly perfidy.
With Him, they had shared the Passover meal,
that He had used (going forward) to seal
His new, final, eternal Covenant---
to every people spiritually relevant.
Upon Christ's cross, God will wipe all the tears---
since Eve's---away, and comfort all our fears
(in all their variations) of our death
with Gospel inspirations like new breath.
