Poem for Advent #4: Time

Time and all creation stop for just a moment
A King is about to make His entrance
But not in a palace
Or even a sterile hospital

A host of angels turns its collective attention
From the heavens and its glory
To a dark, dismal manger
No place for any baby, especially this One

But it was time
Time to be taxed
Time for a birth
Time for a world to be redeemed

At last, the One we had watched for has come
The anticipation has reached its culmination
Incarnation is now a reality, God has become Man
And it was time for a new chapter in eternity's story...

The wait is over... and spring begins...

See! The winter is past; the rains are over and gone. Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come... (Song of Songs 2:11-12)

Merry Christmas, all...
