come,
come to the quiet,
quieten your
heart,
your mind,
your spirit
and enter into
this gift
of waiting time,
be still,
and listen to
the melodies
of hope
unraveling
across the years,
ever old,
and ever new,
beckoning you deeper
into the mysteries
of love given,
love poured out,
love's longing
for full
revelation,
come
learn in
the waiting.
the pregnant promise
of advent's
groanings,
come
be quiet,
be still,
allow your heart
to beat
in time
with time beyond
time itself,
come...
