Poem Title:
Poem
That curious Roman official named "Lentulus" with foresight recorded his description of a Man controversial. And His name too, for prosperity accorded That Man who the Roman so aspired was named Jesus, that Man of Awe, And Lentulus was one of few who desired that Man Jesus to portray and hence to annals store. So wont was Lentulus to see and hear what that Man Jesus preached and said, That he followed Him for a while, everywhere, So that the verity of his narration could by all be read, Then went on to relate what he saw, A Man of serene composture who courtly stood and how His prescence the crowds would draw and hungered the more on the words that inspired good. Of average height, just on fifteen and a half fists tall His nut-brown hair smoothed down at the side forming soft flowing curls, that did fall to below His shoulders with luxuriant pride, His beard boasted long and full, the same colour of His hair, Both His hair and beard neatly parted the middle down, As with the way that all of Nazarines share, And on a reddish face not a wrinkle, spot or frown. His eyes wide set with an unusual capacity for expression coloured blue-grey, exuding a sadness from within, Yet cheerful of countenance with seriousness held in remission, Sometimes seen to weep, not ever to laugh or sing, Though His feet were bare, He stood regally composed He lived in troubled times with much woe abound, For there were those around, who would oppose Him for the freedom and peace His voice did sound. Now through what Lentulus and others alike, did relay, Artists and painters centuries ago, with care did Jesus to canvas, with dilligence portray, And His likeness to the world's peoples share, So that His teachings now so revered became all the more potent with vision aglared, For His words of enlightenment can so astound, But just in His Prescence alone can the Spirit abound.
