The Word Shaped

The word shaped
taking on human form
the spirit alive
on this earth born

Standing on the ground
feet made of clay
yet faithful to his calling
every single day

written after seeing the earlier poem,
“Entering Time”, before I posted it

===================
Entering Time

Christ, God, Emmanuel
Entering our world
the infinite, unending
entering time,
bound by, defined
human life
a journey between
for the divine
Like him, we too
living on this earth
walking the way of the Christ
born again, by the spirit
washed in his blood
In the image of God
walking in the world
between creation and heaven
ascending once more
