The Fifth Candle (The Christ Candle)
Advent candle #5
And so the die is cast
in form of child
the God has come.
Earth cradles the King
in poverty
misplaced, misunderstood.
The sacrifice of confinement
clothing for a while
outside eternity
the covenant
signature.
Keith Wallis
I find your little poem delightful. To bed. The message can't be a little nicer.
ReplyDeleteYou are a very clever, artistic, and sensitive poet, Keith. And I have enjoyed and been spiritually inspired by each of your Advent Candle poems. The Lord has blessed you with this gift as He blessed the ancient Psalmists; it's a fine gift, and you use it extremely well for His Glory. Thank you.
