Table

Writer : Jason Ho

Carving out from where I belonged,
Into beautiful creations he made
Doors, chairs, floors, walls but most magnificent of all
was - a great grand table
fit for royal banquets and village feasts:
How glad to be made for service to my young master.

Around me he played and on me eat,
family and friends did I all meet.
Hearty time with his faithful 12 we dined
Through happy hearts and secure spirits conjoined.
At times his body was heavily burdened.
Chosen to be a place to rest a heavy head and spent arms
Most purposeful for me to give my master rest

There was this time when all was solemn
hearing my master serious and silent
Telling strange stories of bread and wine
They listened, participating using eyes, blind
Through the cracks of my body merry scarlet flowed
How i missed the days that laughter flowed.

Tearing and sawing, I suffered a beating
They ravaged and ripped, ruthless through nails that have held me
I was dragged up a hill to be completed when just then
a familiar scarlet touched and hugged by body
Strong, potent and with a welcoming warmth yet far from merry
It was young master in pain yet silent and prayerful

Nails drove deep and laced with blood, into master, into me.
Groans of injustice followed sighs of destiny
Until it flowed down the length of my structure
Skies darkened, the sun refusing to lay eyes on such damnation
The most sinful man of all time I supported
How glad to be of service to my young master.

Jason Ho sings and plays the guitar, and worships at Petra Church.
