They tell me you were
fully human
just like me…
…so I wonder…
As you made your way
to Jerusalem,
did you know?
Were you certain
deep within your heart and mind?
Or did you feel like I feel
when I think I’ve heard from God –
a sort of understanding,
a vague intuition,
a hazy state of mind?
Could I ever be
as convicted as you were
with only that little bit of blurry clarity?
Perhaps, if you truly were
fully human
just like me…
…perhaps that’s how you had to be…
…for having known for certain
deep within your heart and mind
would you have kept going
just to die for me?
