Following Jesus
I am a secret follower of yours.
by a name you never pronounced.
Not the kind that raise
icons of torture
and call that worship
I am a follower in the sense
that the earth is a follower of the sun.
I follow your laughter, your manhood.
the way you loved women.
The way you healed
by seeing no illness.
I follow your silence
when they questioned you.
I follow you Jesus
like the hawk follows
the gospel of the wind.
