Thursday in the First Week of Advent

A Prayer for Advent from "All Desires Known"
by Janet Morley


O God My Dark My Silence

O God my dark my silence
whose love enfolded me
before I breathed alone
whose hands caressed me
while I was still unformed
to whom I have been given
before my heart remembers
who knew me speechless
whose touch unmakes me
whose stillness finds me
for ever unprepared
