The Humble Path

He was one of us
A man of the people
He surrounded himself with us all
Common folk
They listened; they received

He was not like us
A spiritual man
He retreated to the mountainside
Holy Father
He listened; he received

He was a part of us
A man of flesh
He walked a dirt trail
Simple man
Using the common; making the sacred

He was taken from us
A submissive man
He walked a lonely path
Silent lamb
Killing the sacred; making him common

He is the new us
A creating man
He opened a new door
Humble servant
Seeing the common, perceiving the sacred
