A Reed Blown By The Wind

He starts as a Voice
With a leap and a jump
In a glorious womb
One calling out to his kin
In a saturated place ~ WATER
Drenched in Glory and Truth ~ LIFE
Where The SPIRIT of spirits indwell
Resounding aroma of sweet fragrance;
Fascinating imagery
Charged vessel of LIGHT

Pours out a Voice
One calling out in the desert
A place so dry ~ Water
Wilderness of death ~ Life
Where the driest of bones reside
And the stench of a decrepit hell looms;
Not in ashes yet

For to burn;
It must gain exposure to The LIGHT
This Voice is not The LIGHT
But bears The Truth of The LIGHT
Fore The LIGHT, as The Voice

Questioned by those dry bones;
“Who are you?”
One stopping rain?
Or wielding fire from the sky?
Bringer of the law;
Staff carrier ~ Unveiling plagues for repentance?
Give us an answer to tell our master;
The one who sent us
“What do you say of yourself?”

He responds as The Voice ~ Fore The LIGHT
Wearing camel’s hair and belt of leather and Truth
Eating honey of the wild ~ locusts
One calling out!
“I prepare The WAY!”
Filling every valley
Razing all mountains and hills
Aligning crooked roads,
And rough ones; he makes smooth

Stationed in the desert
There he is heard
Declared from the highest places
Like the prophet who flies
And the One who treads mountains
Taking the place of new purpose;
Baptism of grander design
Heralding The ONE; 
Bringing baptism of grandeur design
Not one they’d regard; bequeath him
Not one of customary temple duty
But One where all will come to know The LIGHT;
Of Salvation by the Jordan

He ~ The Voice
A mere voice compared to The LIGHT
To be seen subsequently
He prepares The WAY!
Greater than any other person ever born
Yet, even the least in YAHWEH’S Kingdom is greater than him
More than a prophet!
A messenger!
Neither dressed in fine linen;
Nor a reed blown by the wind
Just a Voice

Decreasing for Increase
Drawing LIGHT from The WATER;
LIFE from The LIGHT
Offering to you
In the midst of the darkness
In the shadow of death
Fore the Path of Peace! 
Fore the Ransom of the World!
Fore Mercy and Grace!
Fore Freedom, TRUTH and LIGHT!
That starts as a Voice, and ends with a Choice
