“I do not know the man!”
A rooster crowed.
Two men locked eyes.
Eyes full of love and sorrow,
Eyes full of shame and horror.
One man ran away and wept.
One man walked toward death.
(Matthew 26, Luke 22)
Two men meet, one risen, one stunned.
What was said?
Repentance?
Forgiveness?
(1 Corinthians 15:5)
“Do you love me?”
Waves lapped the shore.
Birds circled overhead.
“You know I love you!”
A voice of anguish yet truth.
“Feed my sheep.”
(John 21)
