Come Spirit
of Advent
awaken new hope
within us,
ignite
our hearts with
a fresh awareness
of your opportunities,
call us beyond
our comfort
seeking, nostalgic
notions,
and set us ablaze
with passion
for your purposes,
lead us in your dance
of possibilities,
and rekindle
our desires
to seek you,
to know you,
to share you,
to be freed by you...
Come Spirit
of Advent,
and capture our
imaginations
with unfolding visions
of your eternal story;
God with us,
always with us
ever with us!
This picture by Dave Perry inspired the poem above, he really caught my imagination by describing the crowd drawn by this performer and description of the way she moved!
