We were works

After Genesis 3:17-15 and I John 3:1-10

We were works of before,

changed, in a moment,

into works of now.

We were fields of before,

fallow, then sown, the seed

now sprouting within us.

We were wind of before,

blowing aimlessly, now

with purpose and direction.

We were water of before,

polluted, until freshened,

cleansed, and purified.

We were works of darkness,

transformed, into works

of light, unshaded.
