An Expectant Silence (An Advent Poem)
©2016 Louise Gallagher
In expectant silence
the world awaits
the coming
of a child
heralding
a world
of peace
hope
love
and
joy.
In the quiet
of dawning light
I await
morning
streaming rose and gold
threads of glory
filling the sky
with the promise
of a new day
born in the darkness
of the night
silence descends
light enters
I feel
the breath of God
awakening my soul
with fluttering wings
I become
an expectant oasis
of peace
hope
love
and
joy.
Beautiful words.
