SPEAK WITH CENTURION AUTHORITY!

Geoffrey J. Barratt

Centurion knew
military command,
subordinate response,
one.

   "Go!" he said.
   Gone.
   "Come!"
   Came.
   "Do this!"
   Done.

Knew too
Jesus' command
(with divine authority)
surpassed delay,
denied defiance,
dissolved space.

Healing sure
as we too
need but the "word,"
centurionlike:
   "Go, gloom!
   Come, light!"

Geoffrey J. Barratt
