Haiku of the Word
He was in the world;
he whose heartbeat
resonates
with earth’s deep
rhythms.
They did not know
him;
his own people, not
seeing
nor receiving him.
They are crying out,
yearning, aching.
They will not
come, they will not
hear.
He is in the world
at one with God, and
with us;
listen to his words.
What will his words
be?
Words that challenge
and disturb,
turning upside down.
Some were listening,
taking his words
deep within,
God’s faithful
children.
And the Word became.
one of us, with
flesh and blood,
with pain and dying.
Here, then, is
wonder;
here is grace and
here is truth,
for each one of us.
