Poem based on John 1:1-18 2nd Sunday after Christmas

before all time and being

before the light and darkness

was the God of creation

---- the Alpha

before all worlds

---- and Omega

once again in the timelessness of god

who for a brief moment

-------- in this place

-------- this time

Lived among us

the Word and the work of God

uniting

again and always

the Creator and the Creation

the Word and the Work

in one

the Christ

Emmanuel
