Intimations

Intimations

Haiku of wonder

Transfiguration

intimations of glory;

he must be the one.

Great stories are told

to further prove the greatness

of one we call Christ.

The stage is prepared:

for a sacred drama, here,

upon a mountain.

Lots of heavy stuff

happens high up in mountains;

just ask Elijah.

Elijah is there,

along with Moses, talking

with Jesus, shining.

Prophet, lawmaker,

they converse with one who will

surpass both of them.

The cloud voice echoes:

this is my Son, the chosen,

listen to his voice.

His bewildered friends

have no idea what it means,

or who they follow.

The story is told

across two millennia;

and still we wonder.
