Beyond

Rejoice,
Silently Christmas approaches.
That Spirit filled time
When humankind united,
Turns to thoughts of peace and joy.
It comes,
Like the first one,
Without orchestras,
Slogans and jingles,
But humbly,
Softly,
Foretold and awaited.
Join with me,
Pray with me,
That this Advent
Will last beyond the tree and glitter,
Beyond the gift and tinsel,
Beyond the ringing bells,
Beyond the tears,
Till the Lamb rules us
“One and all.”
