Haiku for those
who are called.
John the baptiser,
had a group of
disciples
learning from their
lord.
A man of insight,
a prophet, fearing
no-one,
pointing to the
light.
When Jesus turned
up,
the way the story is
told,
John stepped to one
side.
John saw him coming.
“Look, here is the
Lamb of God,”
two friends were
told.
When they heard
these words
they took leave of
their master
to follow Jesus.
Jesus turned, saw
them,
asked: “What are
you looking for?”
Top question, that
one.
They did not answer,
asked him, “Where
are you staying?”
“Come and see,”
he said.
An invitation
for all who come
with questions;
and much repeated.
The Lamb of God
comes
bringing life and
light and hope:
Don't wait, come and
see!
Epilogue.
Andrew found Simon.
“Come and meet the
Messiah.”
Took him to Jesus.
Jesus looked at him.
“You are Simon,
son of John.
I'll call you
Rocky.”
