The Remarkable

Advent ends
Because
Something has arrived

Something we can say is wonderful
As we understand the scope of
Things
The stakes
As it were

For what is coming
Is for everyone
Despite denominations
Or
Traditions
Or
Not holding with any
To belong

Because the great belonging comes
From this
An arrival meant
To rescue

Not in the worldly sense of any action
Previous
Any victory
Of ours
But in its own humility

Though
With modesty
Restraint
To teach

It’s the remarkable arriving
For our world that
Is
So loved that
This singular
Salvific process
If
Echoed throughout everything
With enough to talk
To share

Shall begin
