advent 3.0

running screaming jumping yelling
all the world around me spinning
sinning praising sides divided
friends are pulling at extremes
bumps in roadways crazy drivers
stoplights brake lights check engine
gym reps treadmills muscles aching
all around are people pushing me but
i
am
still
walking slowly
through a netherland
in a fog alone i feel
with but not a part
this darkening season
is but obscure
the veil will be removed
and all
will
be well
