At The Last Supper (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

It was dark outside at that last supper,
while joyful His disciples waited upon the time of Passover,
the Lord Jesus Christ did fetch bowl
while brave Peter did laugh at a joke of John
and while He washed their feet like a servant
the men around the table did become serious and silent,
while God did astonish His own disciples with that deed,
did pour out His mercy and blessing on mere humans,
Judas smiled thought that His plan was very clever,
the bread was brittle without yeast in His hands soft,
the red wine did gleam fragrant in a big jar,
He kept them in awe while He spoke about the salvation of mankind,
did look with tears in His eyes at Judas and every sinner,
like a sincere man the saviour of the world did look.
