Advent IV, 2025

Watch with me, wait
in the cold tolling stillness
for the beckoning change
at the near edge of now,
at the turning of the earth,
when what has been, oh
with the stars in their arrangements
pointing the way, 
becomes brilliant, becomes
a blooming peal of deep joy,
a radiance of awe, 
in excelsis, gloria!
