3rd Sunday after Epiphany Mark 1:14-20

The time is fulfilled

    into this world

        ripped apart

    by timelessness entering in

comes the news

the time is fulfilled

    (repent)

and with that this carpenter from Nazareth

reaches in into this place

    and time

and calls out to

come

    follow me

Simon and Andrew

    dropped

    the net of labor

toiled over by so many

in favor of wonders

    at hand

        (repent)

leaving behind a life

looked down on by some

    and admired by others

for one of joy

and lust for the many headed wonder of newness

out of the heat

            (and believe)

    of this world

and into the perceived pursuit

        of all that is wonder

            joy

                peace

joined by others

who only make

    the fever pitch of excitement

        closer to a reality only dreamed of

                (in)

with little thought

to the demands

    that would be placed on them by love

as they tried to present

                    (the Gospel)

the good news
