Advent

There is a voice in the wilderness
calling
her name
she-who-lives-in-darkness
calling
as the full moon wanes
over crashing waves
falling into wilderness
at the cape of disappointment
calling
at the horizon
where the lost stay lost
until they find themselves
within each other
calling in the silence
amidst a cacophony
of uncharted waters
receive the silence
first language of God
listen
to your wilderness
and begin
