Notes About The Poem

A sonnet expressing the Eternal...

The Bright Morning Star


The first and last, and One all in between,
     the eternal divinity in time
and space, the bright morning star that’s always been,
     here now is figured in this worshipful rhyme.

The written word, for all men to have and read,
     was given to reveal the spirit of truth,
the lamb (whose precious, shed blood as godhead
     conquered death): Offspring of David, through Ruth.

Just how to describe the amazing grace,
     and how his forgiveness of the world’s sin,
and rebellion, has saved the human race
     this soul can hardly know where to begin!

Some day, when this poet pulls an overnighter,
He’ll be prepared as a sufficient writer.
