Poem April 8, 2024 Issue

Persuasion

James Walter

© RJOHN97/ISTOCK/GETTY IMAGES PLUS

The senses
plead with words that sway;
they have their say,
then hide in their deceptions.

The Christ
compels with power supreme
that breaks earth’s dreams
through proofs and demonstrations.

The senses’ voices may appeal,
but Christ alone has power to heal.
