Analysis of haiku gospel (water into wine)



haiku gospel (water into wine)

Cana, Galilee
 Jesus with His disciples
 at a wedding feast

His mother, Mary:
 The wine has run out! Woman...
 What is that to us?

My time is not yet!...
 Do whatever He tells you...
 (She to the servants)

six stone water jars
 there for Jewish ablutions
 holding firkins each

Fill these to the brim...
 Draw out now for the chief guest...
 to whom it was brought

water turned to wine
 he knew not the origin
 and called the bridegroom

Men start with fine wine
 then drink what is weak, but you
 save the best for last.

The first miracle
 shone Jesus' glory and His
 disciples believed.
