and so it begins
december first
christ - mass specials
endless droning carols
guaranteed to bore you
by the 25th
thousands of fake fat santas
listening to endless requests for
more more more
i want
i need
i desire
gluttony rules this month
with its twin sisters
materialism
and
consumerism
and in the midst of all this kerfuffle
come
the broken
the silent
the poor
the christ
calling us
beckoning us
see the world
anew
through the hands of the shepherds
the eyes of the lamb
the watching and waiting of the magi
listening for
the beating of angel wings
the soft cry of a child
the implosion of stars
words whispered on
the wind
how our heart aches
for the coming
of this christmas
the real christmas
christmas further up
and farther in
we wait
my freends
spread this stillness
tis simplicity
this hope
in this
silly season
i've put big black lines
through my diary
taken lots out
bought a new book
gone awol
gone to beach time
goin' underground
goin' on retreat
takin time
makin time
live these days gently
my freends
anon.
