Advent On


Advent
the start to advent-ure
where “not all who wander
are lost”
clamors for attention

Did the road diverge
in the wood
for you?

I ate the cake
that grew me
taller than the only door
would allow entry

That’s when
the invisibility cape
became essential
to walking through walls

Into the arms
of awaiting apostles
who had seen miracles
but doubted still

Even though
from swaddling cloths
to burial cloths
they saw
swaths pulled out
like Copperfield

Revealing
The Magic
of embracing aliens
and going where
no one has gone
before

A place where
I saw self-force
reflected in
an endless circle
of mirrors

And in excitement
of discovering advent
begins advent-ure
one does not simply
Keep calm
and
Advent on
