The words of heaven, straight from God
“You are the son of God; I am very pleased with you.”
words more than the water, the spirit, oil, anointing
blessing the son, leading him into ministry
the water, the spirit, the dove, flames of heaven
falling on the son, the lamb, the way,
the voice of God, descending on him
declaring out loud, the nature of Christ

Very Pleased
A voice from heaven, after the water,
the purification, the opening of the clouds
a glimpse of heaven
the holy spirit, descending like a dove
came down on him, anointing
A voice from heaven, speaking, words of power
telling the boy, the man, the truth of his life,
“You are the son of God”, the one sent
more still, affirmation, blessing from the father,
“I am very pleased with you.”
A day to change the world.

Pleasing to God
The son, pleasing to God
at the banks of the Jordan,
coming to be baptized
to go to the one, who had been calling,
crying out in the wilderness
Falling into the waters, rising
heaven opening, parting, a voice
crying, anointing with his word
a dove falling, tongues of fire
resting on him, as oil poured out
very pleased, a shepherd called
to lead his people
at the banks of the Jordan,
coming to be baptized
to go to the one, who had been calling,
crying out in the wilderness
Falling into the waters, rising
heaven opening, parting, a voice
crying, anointing with his word
a dove falling, tongues of fire

Night Coming
Night coming, too soon, too early
white snow of the church’s roof
indistinguishable, the white-grey clouds behind
night falling, before its hour, the storm coming
sky lowering, falling like a heavy curtain
over the stage, falling weight, glowering,
a storm, more snow, coming in the night

A Snow Squall
Even as the snow melted, the front of the house,

snow up, down, whirling around

The sun holding sway, warming, heating

Filtered Light
Even filtered sunlight,
through the storm clouds,
wedges of sun, piercing through
the sidewalk, the driveway, the sleet, snow
giving way, relenting, to the warming
the dark black of the road, heating
even with filtered light,
light winning over the opaque white
weak light still stronger, burning through
melting the grip of the ice, the snow
the path clearing, even as the snow falls

Heavier Snow
The air whiter, the sky darker
heavier flakes, snow
falling, more certainly
heavier, swirling to the ground
a purposeful march, more than a dance
curtains, sheets, showers of white
leaving downward, my eyes falling with them
leading to the ground, to the white already there
building white, in the darkening of the day
heavier snow, replacing the light flakes
a few minutes before

Light Flakes
Light flakes, clusters of powder
dancing in the air
falling, defying gravity,
swirling, spinning, rising
puffed up by the side of the house
twirling, left, right, rising
slow motion, quick motion
falling when the wind is still
aerosol fluff, feathers of snow
as if a marionette,
under the spell of the puppeteer
invisible strings, jerking its legs,
arms, body at the mercy
of the air, twisting, turning
dancing to the ground

After Epiphany
When did his star stop shining, in the night
what guided the wise men, was there a night shadow
the light shining over their shoulders
shining on their way home?
The story doesn’t say what happened
to the star that brought them, called them
to the infant’s bed, that led them
to fall to their knees and worship him
We don’t know in fact, when the star ceased to shine
maybe because it never did,
the light grew, God incarnate, the light come into the world
to shine hope, bringing light, God’s voice, his love
into the darkness of that time, this time too
The light growing, in righteousness, in body
John, there, waiting too, going into that wilderness
calling his people to turn, repent, make ready the way
The light, living, walking among the people
living, teaching, healing, dying, that we might live
Rising, oh yes rising, high up on the lamp stand
the heavenly perch, down too, within each beating heart
every believer a beacon, a light, his light, sent like fireflies
into the summer night, little bits of the one light
his star, still gleaming, guiding our way in the darkness

The Wise Men
Not three kings, not royalty
men of faith, of science, scholars
students of the ancient texts
able to read the signs,
of nature, of the heavens
followers of the stars, called
raised from their lands, studies
His star rising, to his star
they were called, “Come”.
Leaving their lands, their lives
bringing gifts, traveling
journeying to his bed, his side
Overwhelmed, overcome,
falling, kneeling, bowing down,
worshipping him, the babe
the king, born of prophecy
Paying homage, opening their treasure
giving him gold, frankincense and myrrh
Their lives, journeying under his star

The Shadow of the Cross
The shadow of the cross
From the beginning
in the swaddling clothes,
the gifts of gold, of frankincense,
of myrrh, the perfume of burial,
in the response of the king, of power
another way home for the Magi
the death of innocents.
The prophecies of old unfolding
the ribbon of time,
the story of his life
leading to the cross

Parables to Us
Speaking as he did, Christ spoke in the language
in words that the poor, the simple, everyday people
in words they could understand, reaching those open
ready to hear his message, a world changed right side up
Lessons of bread, of water, of fig trees bearing fruit,
stories of lost sheep, of prodigal sons, of the land,
of seeds in different soils.
Lessons in words they live.
Like the rich, the powerful, the elites,
we may hear them as parables,
lessons wrapped in a language we no longer know,
within them, if we become humble,
truths, a way to live out our lives
as God would intend

who received gifts from the wise men
