Please God make o-pen-ings because your Christ

is such a leader that all humans can

quite gladly follow. Your voice has sufficed

to stamp on him your honour as THE MAN.

Collapsing into each day as your child

without the cares of property and rent,

or food or drink, or shelter is the wild

"untamed" way, you showed us life could be spent

as one great pilgrimage throughout your world,

with fam-i-ly (& you, our LORD, and GOD).

What high adventure - so to be quite hurled

into (for us) an unknown, as we've got

here, ev'ry day. And this day is no freak;

you lead in triumph (though through way of death).

And looking to our end (you gave a peak)

in those times that they ate with Christ, when breath

of Christ (the High King Over All)⁹ was sent

to be embodied here again in flesh

and bones as we have now. He never went

back. His "right spirit"* will renew, enmesh

& tangle all of life up in your way

of love & service in your world of folk

from ev'ry corner of the world, today.

This is a kind of lovely riddle/ joke! 

Please help us to retain the punch-line clear,

not telling it in such a way it's lost

on any truly open kind of ear..

please help us in repast and in reposte.
