Advent

The Arrival of the Lord, by Endre Ady. Original.

When they left me,
When I bore my crushed soul,
Silently and unawares
God embraced me whole.

Not a fanfare, but a hug
As a true friend might
Not by sunny day
But by wartorn night.

My vain eyes
Were blinded. My youth died
But I see him forever
The magnificent, the bright.
