Advent

ADVENT

Advent,
we are waiting.
Expectant mendicants
aching for our cups to be filled.
Waiting.

Aching,
we are empty,
dry, superficial, cheap.
All God seeks is a willing womb.
Advent.

Pregnant
Incarnate Word
enfleshed into the world.
Mary offered space, love, belief,
dwelling.


Willing,
can we offer
a dwelling place for Grace?
Can we offer space, love, belief,
fullness?

Fullness
all is fullness.
Eternity in time,
irrupted, revealed, transcendant.
Christmas.
