Haiku of the
Spirit
Nic the Pharisee
worthy leader of the
Jews,
slipped away one
night.
Locating Jesus
he pressed him with
his questions.
Tell me what it
means.
Truly I tell you
if you would see
God’s kingdom,
you must be
reborn
How can these things
be?
Can one return to
the womb,
to be born once
more?
It’s a Spirit
thing.
The flesh is not
important;
true life comes
from God.
Unconstrained,
the wind
unseen blows
where it chooses;
so, too, the
Spirit.
Earthly things
confound!
When I speak
things heavenly
how will you
believe?
For the sake of love
God’s only Son
lived with us
that we might know
life.
He came among us
not to judge or to
condemn
but to give us hope.
