The stranger


After John 1:9-18

The stranger built a house
at the edge of town, not
the center, although
both land to improve
and houses to rent were
available at the center.
The small house was built
quickly at the edge of town,
its porch and door welcoming
the light shining through the windows
and the invitation inscribed by the door:
knock and enter.

Light that gives light


After John 1:9-18

A light that gives light
a light that gives,
a sun shining
a sun giving
without diminishing
without waning.
As the light gives
the light grows
the light strengthens
the light shines
