in the places no one else can see
where seeds lie dormant under snow
waiting through cracks in the pavement.
Here is where you are to be found -
where no one is looking,
I will find you.
When relationships lag behind
expectations that cannot be met,
when the longing for a rekindling
of connection leaves us feeling bereft -
It is here I meet you.
You make for me a home
where Advent light realigns
the needs of family and friends
both near and far -
I will see you.
When I miss the people
who are no longer a part of my life,
when the children wake up
on the excitement of long ago mornings,
and when I look forward to so much
it cannot be contained -
it is here
I will find you again.
