Part of the poetry offering from Fulcrum this Christmas
Word made flesh
by John Watson
Mighty metaphor of God
The Word which changes the meaning of life
First Word that is heard
Last Word that speaks
You bring heaven to earth
The Word which opens new doors of being
Command is uttered
Love is whispered
Truth telling Word of God
Creating new possibilities out of old realities
Word which sets free
Word that unites
