Come and Have Breakfast (John 21:12)
So said God's risen Son
the Incarnated, Crucified, Resurrected One
sitting by the lakeside
preparing a fire
fixing breakfast
Since when
do Saviors and Annointed Ones
have that kind of leisure and time?
You whom we have gilded
crusaded and conquered for,
pomped and circumstanced,
lived and died for,
fix breakfast
Our Worshipped and Adored One,
a short order cook
The symphonies we composed for you!
The books we wrote about you!
The shrines we dedicated to you!
How you turn the tables!
(or rather, set the table)
Do you know what you have done?
Rather,
do we know what we have done?
Did we miss something?
(the boat, the mark, and the meal as well)
