Advent Waiting


Long waiting

Is infuriating...

     but

Is a space for creating

     New ways

     New seeing

     New thinking

     New being.


In this long waiting

Your Spirit, Abba,

Is present tense

To help us sense

The new.


In this long waiting

In this long lapse

Help us see

That the collapse

Of old things past

Makes space for creating

     New ways

     New seeing

     New thinking

     New being.
