Advent by Stephen Leake
We await the fullness of time – the fullness of the moon
Somewhere your star-struck choir singsAs the evening unpeels our histories.The world is here again!I feel the breathing of yuletide fires,The ribboned refrains of seasoned candlesAnd bars of voices beyond St. Stephen’s Wall.The robin appears in a globe of joyHis carol negotiating wreaths of cloudAnd tinsled cakes of snow.We wing into the holy dayWhile the blinking eye of the gifting moonReceives you at that vanishing pointOn memory’s path:Outlived by loveAlone.Source: http://www.christmas-time.com/adventleake.htm – found on the Education for Justice website
