the gift of our days, each moment
crying in the desert,
into the darkness
shining light, the light
of heaven,
the love of God manifest
in Jesus
the word alive, made
flesh in Him
the promise of God
fulfilled
the prophets, the
scripture
alive, living, in the
babe, the Christ-child
the love of heaven, of
God,
kissing this earth
the gift of our days, our
lifetimes,
being the witness, the
herald, shining,
shouting in the
wilderness, in this time,
in this place, in these
moments made holy,
sacred, a time set apart,
Advent,
preparing the way, our
hearts, our lives,
for the coming
Christ-child, for Christ’s return
for the moment when all
that was promised
will be here with us,
when Christ again
is here on this earth
