I wrote this poem as a way to interact with Advent. In our small group we have been studying the Gospel of John using The Message translation and this poem came out of those conversations and meditation upon that book.
Word of God creating
Light, where once was darkness
Searching for my true soul
Obey, now, and take heed
God among the people,
Revealed at last His glory
Speaking to my blind heard,
Lamb of God to bleed.
Light amidst the darkness
Bright against the black sky
Reaching toward my lost soul
Speaking Life indeed.
Thunder in the desert
Echos through the canyon
Pulling at my dry heart
Calling out my need
Wine from not but water,
Deep and rich and flowing
Whispers to my parched heart,
Celebrate this seed
Friend cries out in triumph
“Come and see the savior!”
Tugging at my poor soul,
“Come, friend, come and see.”
Rejoicing in the journey -
