Advent candle 5


The Fifth Candle (The Christ Candle)
Advent candle #5

And so the die is cast
in form of child
the God has come.
Earth cradles the King
in poverty
misplaced, misunderstood.
The sacrifice of confinement
clothing for a while
outside eternity:
the covenant
signature.

Keith this leaves me without words, only wonder.

A merry Christmas to you.

Thank you for stopping by my place on the web. Like you, I'm not sure I'll produce a pebble a day for January, but I will certainly try. Good luck to you!

I can see from your writings you are very talented.
