Sonnet

I lie half awake thinking about this verse.
In the beginning was the Word.
It seems to say everything though it’s so terse.
So God was with the Word and God was the Word.

I have been struggling with how the maker of billions of stars.
Could come to earth as man.
But the truth is ours.
It is in the word, this was always the plan.

How could God communicate with me.
Save through the word.
It’s all there in scripture, finally I can see.
In my hand I grasped this little gem of truth’s bird.

So it is the Word.
And before my vision was merely blurred.

Haiku

So it is the Word
Before my sight was just blurred
Truly I can see
