St. Bartholomew, Apostle

John 1:43-51

out of a world of doubt
crashing through
with words still on his lips
of a culture well worn
a people nurtured at the hand of God
and yet
a culture shed at the words of knowing
history set aside
for the sake of all time
(Rabbi)
and all people
called out of a life
of known
to a life of unknown
(You are the Son of God)
that would bring all life
to a newness
promised from before all time
(you are the King of Israel)
for all people
