The dying embers of advent
The dying embers of advent
The purple candle flame flickers, dies.
As wispy smoke, mesmerizingly, begins to rise.
Sacred rites of waiting, extinguishing.
Dawning adoration, at an imminent arrival expecting.
Descending silently, to caress the dust of earth.
These dying embers of advent give way, to receive a royal birth.
Fleeing the sanctuary, as the December light is fading.
Finishing touches, ensuring the decorations are shining.
In the twinkle of an eye, in the passing of hours, advent disappears.
Familiar prayers tumble forth from grateful lips:
“Do not be afraid Mary, the child you carry will challenge all fears!”
I carefully place the fragile figure of the Christ child, completing nativity.
Locking the church door behind, all is ready, “Come Jesus, do not delay!”
