The Last Day of Advent
She began the journey on her own (don’t we all?)
and knelt in awe of what was to come
before forging on
only to have Joseph joyfully join her journey
when they were promptly overtaken by the world
and taken to New Orleans
where they set out again
traveling through the early morning light
only to once again get lost in the weeds
before getting back on track
and within shouting distance of the end where it will begin
TOMORROW: ARRIVAL
