White

White
in our home
white
is our Christmas
paper and porcelain
white
With white
we remember
not only His birth
but the purpose
of the Incarnation
Why He came
White is the Lamb
perfect white Lamb
taking His cup
drinking
for us
thorns piercing
blood flowing
blood from the Son of God
amazing, this blood
thick with love
though red
it washes white
White
is our Christmas
Worship
is our Christmas
songs from lips
and piano keys
black and white
Worship with gifts
to those who tell
of what has been revealed
to us—
that God loved
the world
in this way—
that He sent
His Son
and though our sins
deserve scarlet death
we can live with Him
forever washed
white
...to Know-Love-Obey God

I love color poems. Each color bringing to mind such individual thoughts.

(This post sat open on my browser for days… I wanted to say something… but couldn’t find the right words to express what this post meant to me…. I didn’t want to close the post either… Now I slip back here to say the only fumbling words I can find: thank you… )
