Dawn breaks

After John 1:9-14 

Dawn cracks open,

a sliver of light

at first, pale gleam

opening in the east, 

presumptuous in

its challenge to

the darkness, which

safely ignores

the insignificant

glimmer until

the panic sets in,

not realizing it

was always too late

to darken the light.

The light was in

the world, the light

was the genesis

of the world, 

the light was

stranger to the world,

rejected 

by its own people

but not entirely,

accepted by a few,

a tiny few, a few

insignificant seeds,

mustard seeds,

chosen and created

and crafted within

the light, showing

the power of the light,

the light becoming

flesh.
