The walk seemed endless
and winding
like their thoughts
confused in events
that soared in triumph
and lay dead in defeat –
or so it seemed.
The stranger
walked into their talk
seemingly unaware
of the happenings,
yet stirring their hearts
to a new awareness
of blessing
and breaking bread
and sharing the wine
of remembrance.
Joy knew no bounds now
as they raced
toward Jerusalem
to share
the good news.
