Water and Wine

Water and Wine

it is a 

matter of belief 

a religious persuasion

that the conversion

was a miracle

 unquestioned.. 

marking a tribe..

 might we find

an expression of

this astonishing story

for a more universal

understanding..

to his mother
he was direct:

that his hour had

not yet come..

how we ask is

this related to

the rest of the story..

water 

 stands forth as our

 essence divine..

wine

for all experience

for lives seeming
to be separate..

the Cana conversion

calmly asserts: wine

is made of water..

 a new hour
will know suffering
born of fear and desire
a forgetting of Cana..

 wine is resurrected 

 recognized as water
our essence clarified

as a miracle unveils...

(ref:  John 2: 1-11)
