The farmer


After I John 1:5-2:2

The farmer broke the landscape,
digging up rocks, cutting trees,
removing stumps, contouring hills
until the land, the soil
was ready, prepared, waiting.
The farmer himself waited,
knowing the time would come
for the planting of the seed.
The farmer had completed
his task, assigned: to prepare
a way for the seed.
