As the lights begins to shift
and a crack appears in heaven
As stars slide across the darkness
and angels clear their throats
As an unborn agitates
with the labouring of love
may we…
As incarnation moves from promise
into skin
As words of prophecy
spill into every empty silence
As you, O love, shift restlessly
and begin to let go
may we…
As the world turns
and the rumour goes unnoticed
As grandiose words are spoken
yet never contain the word
As the longing and waiting and calling
are missed
may we…
may we shift restlessly along with heaven
at the breath-taking vulnerability of hope
speak justice into the silence of injustice
move towards those others move away from
may we forgive in order to bring new life to the
world
prepare to change as all of heaven changes now
live towards what is right and away from what is
wrong
may we pull on the hope of advent
live on the cusp of incarnation
and proclaim with our lives
the Good News
of promise
of holy flesh in a messy world
of emmanuel
may we…
may you
make way
for birth
So be it
