Scripture is a Verb
written words
old thoughts by old men
no doubt learned for their day
but static as soon as the
words were recorded
caught in their own
patterns and webs
seeing only what
any of us might see
looking for the truth
but grasping mostly
our own hurts and joys,
trauma and drama,
losses and gains they may
have tried to do their
best leaving us with
their brightest hopes
maybe not even
wanting us to not so
much live by the
scriptures
but to scripture
our own.
