November Poetry Blog: Advent

As we come into this final stretch of the year, I invite you to breathe for a moment, and to take some time to reflect on this season of Advent. As we watch, wait, and wake into the remaking of Creation, I offer four short poems that correspond to each week of this liturgical season. May they be an opportunity to rest in God’s presence as we anticipate Jesus’ birth.

advent vignettes (part iii)

Gabi Cadenhead

iii. waking

divinity dawns on a new day,

drags us from our beds

and demands that we

unsheathe our eyes
