Sonnet

It is written in the prophets.
They will all be taught by God.
Sound the glorious trumpets.
Let the chariots horses be shod.

Philip met the Ethiopian on the road.
As he read Isaiah in his chariot.
Soon his head in baptism was bowed.
And forewarned of the fate of Judas Iscariot.

Why do we spend so much thinking about number one.
And too little about others save in resentment.
And even less about the one.
But we know that to help others is the only road to contentment.

Perhaps one day I might meet a Philip on the road.
And appreciate how much he is owed.

Haiku

Philip on the road
Explains Isaiah to us
He is always there
