On the Eve of Advent

 

On the eve of Advent Jupiter ascends

As is his custom at dusk this time of year

Then Mars and the company of Orion

And all the dutiful stars awake, arise

 

To mark the passing of Ordinary Time

And arc into the west and disappear

Late leaves rustle unseen in the deepening dark

We whisper our Compline prayers along with them

 

And in the absence of light await the Light

Which will appear in the most unlikely places
