Into humankind he came; looked like every
Other baby; not far from every other
Needing love and nurturing, food: a nursling
Counting on Mary.
Joseph’s trade supplied his apprentice Jesus,
(Working like all others his age, not standing
Out) providing specification, standards;
Sanctification.
Mission territory is opened: Cana’s
Wedding feast, miraculous feats and nature
Circumvented, followers growing, the dead
Rising; now wanted.
Giving Body to eat Blood to drink he was
Hung; convicted criminal; like all others
Died but rose, ascending; from Heaven feeding;
Worshipers eating.
Coming here and down to us; told us he would
Come throughout the ages, without end, never
Ceasing, always saving, our Lord of patience,
Born as an infant.

Blessings & Pece to YOU & YOURS
Love Brian & Angela 🧡💚🧡💚🧡
Yes, I recall reading about Sappho from Hirsch (The Poet’s Glossary), Brian & Angela. It’s a joy to take an inspiration to write in a ‘new’ form (my first sapphic) regarding our Lord; an infinite being: becoming man within this, His finite creation. Thanks for dropping by and may God continue to richly bless you and yours.
A fine write Gary.
Thank you Orchidee!
