For the season

something’s coming
anticipation

something’s coming
scuttling along the ground
anticipation

something’s coming
like a thief in the night
like the rising sun
anticipation
a lover’s tryst
cool water on a hot day

something’s coming
anticipation

is it here yet?

something’s coming
some rough beast traversing the dessert
seeking, seeking, seeking, shelter
something’s coming
like the wind on the prairies invisible,
puissant --- blowing towards
anticipation

something’s coming
long looked for, long despaired of
anticipation
as a child coming to birth

something’s coming
anticipating
payback, or pay out.

Something's coming
Smell the wind!
Read the entrails!
Scour the heavens!
Seek the signs.
anticipation
Christmas is a comin'.
waiting for, waiting for
can’t wait; can’t wait
is it here yet?

something’s coming
fat geese and partridges
prophets in the desert,
profits in the tank,
A ha’penny for an old man’s hat

anticipating
a lump of coal.
a small gratuity
perhaps
a guiltless affair
nothing more.

something is a coming
downplayed, maligned, feared
as in a day of mourning,
a day of reckoning and of wrath.
anticipations
a day of joy
a day of release
from blindness, and captivity,
from death, deafness, and
the crippling oppression
of old news.


something’s coming
is it here yet?

something’s coming
is it here?

is it here

is it here


yet?

Love the playfulness of these lines and the excited dance with hope and rhythm. ANTICIPATION--ADVENT 08 sings of the greatest gift of all: "a day of release" from all the negativities that holds us back from being our Highest Better Selves. Much gratitude for the splendid read,

The buildup is intense ... looking for signs ... some dark ... and yet, the old will pass away ... so hope in these lines. Very well penned, John.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
