Conundrum

I have seen a man

A guest at a pulpit,
trembling,
as old men do.

He poured his heart out
honestly
as a Christian man does.

He chastised many
pitilessly
in a voice choked with tears.

There are forlorn people
wandering,
tortured lives without a savior,

he said.

Such tenderness, surprisingly
astonishing
from a man often harsh and critical

toward his brothers and sisters in Christ.
