Advent II - Silence

Hush now.

Hold these seconds precious in your hands

Breathing in the stillness.

Shut the door on all the noise

And the hurrying

The rustle of bags

And the endless, endless rush and chatter

Of all the wanting and the doing.

Sit down and in the praying and the silence

Let the darkness be at bay.

Because it’s a weary world out there,

And the cold creeps in around the edges.

So let us wrap ourselves with silence

Just for these moments.

And hush.
