Summary: a short poem reflecting on Luke 24:13-35

The road from Emmaus is not in the book

Emmaus isn’t even on the map

Still, people walk to Emmaus every day

And then they go away to somewhere else

Because while everyone visits Emmaus

It’s only for supper and a new assignment

Although the directions seem somewhat vague

Those who have been there seem to know the way

The road to Emmaus is in the book

The road out of town is mapped in the heart
