I missed a week of advent
I missed a week of advent as if it disappearedor maybe never happened
I was in another placewith decorations andcarols all around and greetings of cheer from nice, new people friendly, but unfamiliar
I sat in hotels, meetings and planesthat little convinced my heart orsoul of the soon coming day
I have returned home bearing an unseen weightof responsibilities andexpectations with slight chanceI’ll catch up or be caught up
