Advent

Start the trumpets,

A sky so thick with darkness that the chill has it's own life.

Start the trumpets,

Suddenly it's time. 

A flicker, so blinding, so earth-shaking and mind-blowing, my deepest delight.

A ray of light breaks through, it loses the urge, loses the chains, it stars to unleash.

A light so blinding, so boundless, that evil starts to decease.

Its safety is so magnificent and yet my soul begins to shake.

Something so wild yet so controlled is about to enter the shadows of our very core.

And as each vessel is filled with a spark so luminous it burns away my bitterness, all evil is shunned away, all darkness has gone astray. 

A lullaby of a cry sings through my soul, and lights up my eyes.

This light beams from something so tender and frail, and yet its presence causes my soul to excel.

Angels start to sing, they rejoice in a saviour.

For this saviour is magnificent, wondrous and sent from my creator.
