The Wall Has Come Down

A haiku response to Sunday's readings, inspired by Ellen Charry's 7 word gospel.

The Wall Has Come Down

Knowledge is power,

So we all loathe the Gossip.

Except when it's us.

Does power give life

Or destroy, and by whose word?

Illusion masks truth.

Devils with answers

Paintings of ourselves some days,

Fearing those same selves.

The tree he carries

Plants him extinguished and deep

"Forgive, they know not."

What hope for him, us -

Considering all that is?

There, here, love opens.
