Walking In The Light Poem by Kathleen Reiman

Jovial youth; incarnate of glory, fighting and revelry, yet magnanimous spirit
Penitent prisoner fleeing the fire of his father’s wrath and a city’s scorn

Filthy rags buried in a cave: Emerging Reborn child of God
Wed to Lady Poverty; his wife of surpassing fairness

Walking in the Light, Son drenched, dew quenched
Followers flocking to his side, eager for the shepherd to feed them

Words leaping like stags, plummeting along the mountain’s heart
Penitent sorrow dripping from the jagged rock façades

Gospel simplicity, Christ’s sacrifice revealed
The newborn lambs follow the Shepherd, leaping joyfully
