John 1:1
In [the] beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Seeking Words

Existing before existence,
before all that is known and unknown
was the Word.

By inceptive exhalation,
His first breath of the Word,
genesis was conceived and commanded
giving form to mass and expanse,
an infinite universe breathed life

By the Word

All that is good,
was given unto us.

Among the greatest of these,
light,
illuminating all that is seen by eyes and heart

So while,
in this moment,
I wander in darkness,
in my night of silence,
I know what is known
by the Word,

I will find my words.

Listening to every heart

And...she writes.  
We panic so easily over the moments
we think a gift has been taken from us,
those intangible gifts of heart...
and then...
we explode with pleasure...
knowing they were His gifts, all along.

Well done, Patricia.
A new year will soon be upon us...
May your pen ever flow.

Dear Patricia, your words are a tribute to the Word. In the darkness the light is born ... and you know.
Precious poem!
Love and hugs. Margherita

I know of this feeling,  too very well...and
somehow I manage to come through those times
when the drought reins supreme and the flow
is only of tears...

Well said Pat.

To be heard...there must be silence.

Let the words find you.

Hugs,

Ah, hope, how excellent is thy name.  I do believe you have found your words once again...and they are good...exceedingly good.

So while,
in this moment,
I wander in darkness,
in my night of silence,
I know what is known
by the Word,

I will find my words.

Light first, then substance and form and finally life...the same pattern whether you're talking about Genesis or the Big Bang...or both. And what a brilliant analogy for our own creative process, whether spiritual or poetic.

I can't believe this beauty has been around this long without me finding it... I'm glad I did today. *S*
