Hiding in the night

Haiku for the timid but curious.

Hiding in the night,

Nicodemus comes, seeking

answers from Jesus.

We have been impressed

by the things you've said and done;

God must be with you.

Truly I tell you,

if you would see the kingdom

you must be born anew.

Many years have passed

since I emerged from the womb;

can I repeat this?

Flesh gives birth to flesh.

You are spirit; from Spirit

your true life will come.

The Spirit-wind blows,

moving swift with mystery.

Be born of Spirit

You speak of wonders,

teacher. I don't understand;

how can these things be?

Listen to my words

and receive them, they are life.

Lift your eyes, and see.
