You went out under

the cover of darkness

seeking the light

knowing the truth

separating the light

from the heavens

the Word spoke to you

your spirit awoke

illumination

revelation

one hundred pounds

you carried

of myrrh and aloes

bound to the earth

wrapped in aroma

reverence

mystery

sorrow

redemption

scents lingered

on stone

Word rising

did you see Him?

did He show you

where metal met light?

your secret broke loose

from earthly fear

you spoke the Word

to the dust.

Nicodemus.

β€œThere was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, β€œRabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.””

‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
