Advent

gray0328

 

December air cuts with a sacred clarity, 

each breath a confession, frost-lined 

and unscripted. We stumble through 

our daily tasks like penitents, burdened 

by the invisible weights of wanting. 

Our lives, a seething chorus of missed 

marks, of darkened mirrors reflecting 

our heart’s quiet betrayals. Yet, in the 

long shadows cast by streetlights, we 

see the possibility of grace, an ember 

glowing softly in our chest. We strip 

our pride, our accolades to the bone, 

offering scraps of humility to the sky's 

unseen manuscript. The night grows 

longer, and our hearts ache deeper, 

calling out through centuries of silence 

for a Savior who knows our frailty, 

who hears the whisper of our longing. 

In the advent of this season, we find 

ourselves unstitched, awaiting the 

one who mends, who makes whole.
