Advent Poem III

we know it wasn’t December 25th
it wasn’t even bleak midwinter…
were there shepherds?

a lot of borrowed stories and myths
to piece together a story

shrouded---------shaded---------shadowed

O Magnum Mysterium

divine becoming flesh?

what are we stumblers in the 21st century
supposed to believe?

groping in the shadow of
Darwin
Einstein
Freud
Even Moltmann

but behind the shadows is light
shining on
a page open to Matthew 5

divine word become flesh
baby Christ

come Immanuel
