God I know I don’t need
To look for you
Advent is in
a minor key
Because
Christ is already here
In the ICE prisons
Christ is already here
with the unhoused
Christ is already here
at the wartorn rubble
Christ is already here
But it’s hard
to see the face of Jesus
Fear not
You say
And you coax us to
free the prisoners
To distribute food
without worry about who is deserving
As you remind us
What peace and wholeness means
Fear not
The Holy Spirit
Inspires us
Laying Groundwork
for the key change
to take hold
We wait with you God
Because we want the miracle
of Christmas
To be about
the seeds that are
planted
to mean
Universal flourishings
