Advent Meditation: a ghazal

purposeful silence awaiting night
candles lit, gyring, spiralling light

small starts, specks of dust and breath misty
Mother Mary’s womb creating light

walking between faewilds and Christ
closest to God in the witching light

proclaim, proclaim, proclaim! come in
stillness, memory-carrying light

anxiety, embodied litany
catharsis, release, outpouring, light
