Advent

Like the bulb beneath the earth: awaken.
Thus God’s urging in the soul’s blood,
the intangible currents of heart-mind:
Awaken.
Something is coming, disturbing
the status quo, the somnolence.
Awaken. Are you ready?
Do you have the tools, the ears,
the nerve-cells yearning for his caress?
Or is your back turned?
What does he bring? What will it do to me?
Questions, questions. Awaken.
