Advent
Endings
in the wilderness-
A prophet scatters seeds
on
desert sands
screaming
that hope
will grow
amidst dry despair
Surprises
amidst the impossible-
A frightened teenager hears
an
angel proclamation
telling
her of a coming
star child
through her to the world
Dreams
that make no sense-
An eager Joseph longing for
children
of his own
but
hearing that his
first born
will not be his
Waiting
yet again on wonder-
An old story told yet again
into
a world of terror-
needing
seeds of hope
an angel proclaims
a child
first born of God
Advent
again…
