On the Road to Emmaus

22 January 2000


As they trekked along
encased in a sad song
A stranger they thought appeared
whom was one they loved and deared

On this road to Emmaus past
a Scripture tale told to last
FromJerusalem they left
unaware of who was the guest

Two of them went that day
in sadness they did pray
Joined by a third
they failed to recognise His word

For their eyes were holden
as footsteps forward rolled in
That they should not know him
a love stronger than kin


“And, behold, two of them [Apostles] went that same day
to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about
threescore furlongs [12 kilometres]. And they talked together of
all these things which had happened [the crucifixion of Christ].
And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and
reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them. But
their eyes were holden [undecided ] that they should not know
him. And he said unto them, What manner of communications
are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?”
Luke 24: 13-17 KJV

"Holden" is a General Motors make of car, manufactured in Australia.

"their eyes were holden " - I have a thing for 'holden' scriptures, only the King James Bible can provide

I am 'poet to the cars' , there for 'holden' is a word that makes that possible.

The above works is a car-psalm , when I compose ballads about my motor racing as well

my poettothecars logo on my web site http://www.poettothecars.com  is a Holden
