Sonnet for Palm Sunday

PALM SUNDAY

As all the wedding guests are well aware,
the bride and bridegroom's burning hearts will cool.
No couple can escape the time-worn rule:
the budding branch, come winter, must grow bare.
A cynic mocks the thought that love might spare
these two from turning cowardly or cruel;
a witness (whom the former calls a fool)
thinks frost might yet give way to warmer air.

The shouting crowd who celebrate their King
grasp little of what lauding Him will mean;
arrayed in ignorance, the children bring
abundant fronds to lay a path of green.
Within a week, the crowd will turn away.
And yet — let loud hosannas sound today.
