hands nailed wide open
his blood offered as ransom
reconciling grace
not just religion
intimate relationship
God moves in with us
love’s embodiment
worthy of our devotion
he pursues us first
Linking with Carpe Diem Haiku Kai’s prompt on “devotion”

wrens did not return
youngest son built new birdhouse
our hearts are frozen
and the sound of birds is heard…
late wrens sit in bush
life is more than building nests
sing little hearts out
