Luke 8

The Touch

Woman, you believed. Somehow
differently than the thousands
who Jesus
brushed shoulders with every day.

Son of Man - Luke 8

Who is this
who commands the demons
like they are pigs
and sends them there instead
of to the abyss
who is He
who knows the storms so well
that he falls asleep
and when he wakes
commands the waves to peace?
Who stands in the throng listening to their needs
healing with words
commanding spirits to flee
so many who followed
so few who could see
the Son of Man
who found me amongst
the lost sheep.

Wow! The Luke 8 poem is especially powerful and well written. Thanks also for the woman poem - do I hear indications of a Biblical feminist? (meaning, bringing attention to the stories of the Bible regarding women.)
