Thoughts for Advent: Day Two

A Poem for Day Two

I have to believe
the longing
is always there

Masked and buried
the ache apparently assuaged

I am, sadly, able to forget
this constant
quiet yearning

Passing distractions
pose with great import
and I am taken in

This is the season
of calling up

What is it that has caught my eye
captured my attention
and feigned to fill me?

If I am willing
I'm certain we can go there

Not without trepidation
I long to uncover
my true heart yearning
for you
