Poetry & Possibility


It’s possible that we can say something more meaningful about God, our world, and ourselves through poetry than we can in treatise, theology, or creed. Perhaps a poem is the most engaging and beautiful way to say what resurrection really looks like and to show why it matters.

This series will take us through many themes – resurrection, hope, encounter, relationships, creation, protest, and shifting perspectives. In this series, poems will be our dialogue partners and our teachers. Sometimes scripture will also make an appearance and at times the poem itself will be a reinterpretation of a scripture. But each week, we will let the poems read us – wondering what the poem is telling us about ourselves, our world, and our relationships with each other.

Scripture & DIALOGUE Questions

All are invited to hear and discern the Word of God together in dialogue at Emmaus Way each week. While the communal and embodied experience of dialogical preaching can't quite be recreated outside of the Sunday gathering, follow along here with the scripture passages and dialogue questions that are guiding our weekly conversations.

  • Psalm 126
    “In the Woods, 22nd of September,” Rainer Maria Rilke 

    “No Time To Wait,” José Oliveraz 

    “Breaking Waves Like A Stone," Loma 

    “Four Quartets, East Coker V,” T.S. Eliot 

    “Won’t You Celebrate With Me,” Lucille Clifton 


    • Where did you find or hear resurrection in these poems? Feel free to call out a word, image or line. 

    • Why is that an image/word/idea of resurrection for you? 

    • How has your understanding of resurrection expanded or been more finely tuned out of these poems? 


    Writing Prompt: An Invitation To Try

    We invite you to try to write a poem, prayer, or prose (however brief) describing what resurrection means to you. Dare to engage with your inner poet. If you feel stuck, begin with your senses—what does resurrection look like, feel like, sound like, smell like or even taste like?
