we are advent

close your lips
save full words and full kisses
let everything else
slide back into the silence
to cultivate in secret
a deep magenta murmur
of a language we once understood
the sound of moving song
when the time is right
part your lips
and let heaven explode in glory
we are portals to this world.


roots of love twine around
hold the heart still as the Spirit draws near
She presses Her lips and whispers softly -
-
-
-
your heart will break in love when the Word
sings His way out.


we are advent.
