Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

The curtain, the fabric cut,
heaven exposed, revealed
to the one rising from the Jordan
the one Son of God

Torn open, an opening,
the Spirit, like a flame, like a wind,
like a dove, falling, descending
alighting on him

An image of heaven, for the man
the son of the carpenter, Mary’s son
born in a stable bed, rising from John’s arms
a new creation indeed

A stitch in heaven, an opening in the curtain
the voice of God affirming
the calling of the Lord
This is my son, with whom I am well pleased
