Goldmine – Fran Brady
three years was all he had
to reveal the infinite ages of God
walking distance was all he had
to cover light years of knowledge and truth
simple, illiterate folk
to teach the complexity of His plan
arrogant, hostile scholars
to teach the simplicity of his love
when they nailed him to the cross
did he hang there, wondering:
is it enough? It is finished,
but have they really grasped it?
was that when he knew that
revelation could not end?
Christianity is not a finished product
to be analysed, preserved and taught
it is a living language always evolving
as modern Italian is to classical Latin,
thus our living faith to old texts
the goldmine goes on giving
