Sonnet

Is it not written in your law, I said you are Gods.
So the law uses the word Gods.
On this question do we have to be at odds.
Disputing in separate squads.

So scripture refers to us as Gods because it is addressed to all.
And he referred to himself as Son of God.
We grapple with the truth but want to receive the call.
Perhaps we can just stand awed.

With St Fulgentius we grapple with our own Arianism.
Is Christ just a holy man.
I can get lost divining the truth of an ism.
I prefer not to question the divine plan.

But if God was not prepared to come down to earth.
Where does that leave our true worth.

Haiku

If God not prepared
To come down to earth where is
In all this our worth
