Pilgrimage Poem by Darlene Walsh

Pilgrimage

Rating: 5.0


We're leaving on a jet plane
Going to the Middle East
Are we truly insane?
Into the belly of a beast?

In a world full of strife
In a land haunted by terror
The worlds disregard for life
And a city to last forever

Like the tales of Chaucer
In the days of old Canterbury
The tale of the Millers Daughter
On a pilgrimage for the wary

On a trip to refresh our souls
To renew our vows in Cana
And to share all our goals
Food for life like fresh manna

To follow the path of our Savior
To search our hearts for sins
To improve our flawed behavior
Where a better life begins

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This just popped into my head and we leave in an hour for the plane to go to Israel, so this was a bit rushed. I'll add to it later as we enjoy our pilgrimage.

mommy, in your 'spare' time, take a glance at these lines: The worlds disregard for life And a city to last forever ....................see anything i might wonder about? ================ marriage vows? or vows of faith in Christianity? ok, so i'm not a Bible scholar! .............(see below) : - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Written references to Cana Biblical references Main article: Marriage at Cana Cana is very positively located in Shepherd's Historical Atlas,1923: modern scholars are less sure. Among Christians and other students of the New Testament, Cana is best known as the place where, according to the Fourth Gospel, Jesus performed the first of his signs, his first public miracle, the turning of a large quantity of water into wine at a wedding feast (John 2: 1–11) when the wine provided by the bridegroom had run out. Although none of the synoptic gospels record the event, mainstream Christian tradition holds that this is the first public miracle of Jesus.[1] The other biblical references to Cana are also in John: John 4: 46, which mentions that Jesus is visiting Cana when he is asked to heal the son of a royal official at Capernaum; and John 21: 2, where it is mentioned that Nathanael (sometimes identified with the Bartholomew included in the synoptic gospels' lists of apostles) comes from Cana. The Book of Joshua mentions one city (19: 28) and one brook (16: 8; 17: 9) named Cana – neither is likely to be the Cana of Galilee.[2] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - so, you are back now. did you find any sin? i didn't think so. any terror? i hope not. bri :)
