Poem based on John 1:43-51 St. Bartholomew, Apostle

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
