I am not ready,
am unprepared...
+
I need a place,
a space, a time
to wait...
and wait,
+
I want to hold
silence
to ponder the
tension between
presence and absense,
the now and not quite yet
of God's new heaven
and earth...
bursting forth
among us,
yet still just
out of reach,
out of sight.
+
I need a place,
a space, a time
to wait...
and wait
+
I want this longing
to grow within me,
freeing me from dulled senses,
calling forth
a new possibility
that can only be found
by entering in
to the darkness
of advent waiting...
waiting, and
waiting for the flame to be
kindled once again.
+
I need a place,
a space, a time
to wait....
and wait
