Advent 1

Advent 1
Mark 13: 33-37

Watch!
Watch, and I stand there
waiting!
for that
time
moment
when it would be fulfilled
and every life would have
that missing element
that wholeness
and holiness
that every cell of my being
and world
and universe
cries out for
FILL ME LORD
MAKE ME WHOLE
fill this void
this longing
in my life
I am waiting
(watching)
Lord. I am waiting
but the time
(unending)
seems to be all there is
just the time
and the waiting
(hurt)
in this world
I am ready for you Lord
(holy)
ready to see the glory
(love)
that is you
and be taken from
all the hurt
(this)
pain
(gift)
hunger
(of life)
and death
(to us)
we have
(created)
in this life
WHEN WILL THE WAITING BE OVER?
and my eyes cleared
from having to watch
