Incarnation

July 21, 2004 by Jan Bear Leave a Comment

Unvoiced the Godhead spoke the Word

And unflesh hands made man.

Time’s Creator, not bound by time,

More distant than the sky,

Who willed to be in place and time

Confined, who healed and spoke

With hands and voice of matter born,

Was one of us, though God.

Closer now than one’s own heart,

Time deep and cosmos wide,

Enfleshed in fallen hands and tongues,

He builds and calls the world.

I think I should offer an explanation, or perhaps an apology, for posting this, but I remember Faulkner’s mother’s advice to him: “Don’t explain; don’t excuse,” and instead warn that there may be more in the future.
