Knowingly (Christmas to Heaven)

Holiest of holies, knowingly coming down on a day when there would be no place and subjecting himself to birth. Lord of lords choosing day after day, time after time to let an all-knowing mind not know anything and to learn, to struggle, to try. King of kings knowingly kneeling and praying and sweating bloodContinue reading “Knowingly (Christmas to Heaven)”

Rolled, wrapped, folded, packed.  I don’t know where we go.  Bump, jar, skid, groan.  We seem to be moving slow.  Cold, dark, night, traveling.  Perhaps I can give her warmth.  Dusty, dirty, stretched, worn.  Then again, I might get marked.  Baby, crying, stable, unwrapped.  Put to my true use.  Swaddled, folded, quieted, stilled.  Not aContinue reading “Advent Through Poetry Day FIFTEEN (Swaddling Cloths)”
