Feast in the House of Simon, 1610, El Greco
You run a certain risk
when you invite the Master to dine--
You may run out of wine,
or water,
for His dozen dusty friends;
unsavory gate-crashers
may entreat Him with more unction
than thou.
You make a show of listening
when He answers your
unspoken sneers.
What if you opened wide
your narrowed eyes,
unstopped your pride-corked ears?
You just might recognize His truth.
And if you dare
lay bare your heart,
He'll heal your hidden scars.
Forgiveness can't be bought.
It must be begged--
and then He freely gives.
