a slice through eternity,
a tear in the fabric of
time,
there at the stable
in Christ’s birth, the
Messiah,
laid in a manger bed,
changing our future,
forever,
a focal point of history;
God entering creation,
God descending,
entering time.
a slice through eternity,
a tear in the fabric of
time,
there at the Jordan
in Christ’s baptism, the Savior,
washed by his cousin John.
