Uncouth shepherds,
esoteric scholars,
restless groom,
hidden womb,

open to the mystery
of the night,

messages
of the holy.

What do you see,
what do you hear,
in the dark?

With thanks to Brian Draper for his Advent reflections and prompting me to return to Luke Sital-Singh’s song: ‘Dark’ (based in Martin Wroe’s poem of the same name).
