Crowds,
crowds thronging,
jostling,
taking in the sights,
preparing for the celebration,
locals and visitors
rub shoulders,
the air
electric,
expectations high,
then
another layer,
an additional
charge,
a buzz,
rumours abound,
"could it be,
is it he?
The one
we have been waiting for?"
Stories are told,
healings,
miracles,
even the raising
of the dead!
Could it be?
Is it he?
Would we be foolish
to dare
to believe?
+
and still today
we ask
these questions...
