Advent Colors
Purple my heart,
purple not with courage or from war,
but from longing for the Desire of Nations
and for peace.
Blue my eyes and soul,
blue and silent as today’s late afternoon snow under shade.
Waiting, hoping, melting, freezing.
White my spirit, my remembering,
white for never having known before
the One
Whom now I see,
and tasteand feel.
Em-an-uel,
God-with-us.
