Jeus found the orient calm and peaceful,
mysteriously quiet,compared to the bustling
market place in Jerusalam,
or the blood stained, marble streets of Rome.

He sat with the monks of the temple,
ate fish head soup and rice,
then fasted for seven days.

On the seventh day, thoughts of home
whispered softly to his wisdom,
mingeled with the low,dark murmer,
of fate and death.

The Angels carved the first,
ornate crucifixes of jade.
Translucent,green prophecies,
of things destined to be.
