It Is Not Over

It Is Not Over

It is not over,

this birthing.

There are always newer skies

into which God can throw stars.

When we begin to think that we can predict the Advent of God,

that we can box the Christ

in a stable in Bethlehem,

that’s just the time

that God will be born

in a place we can’t imagine and

won’t believe.

Those who wait for God

watch with their hearts and not their eyes,

listening

always listening

for angel words.


- Ann Weems
