What do they say?

 

Haiku for questioners


In Caesarea

he asked; What do they say; who

is the Son of Man?


Some say the Baptist,

Elijah, Jeremiah;

one of the prophets.


You, who follow me,

who do you say that I am?

Tell me what you think.


You must be the Christ,

Simon answered him; the Son

of the living God.


Who are you? We ask

still; leaning out for meaning,

reaching out for hope.


Who am I? We ask,

discovering our true selves

as we meet with him.


Keep it to yourselves

for now, this revelation.

It will cause trouble.
