The Sign of the Time

'The Sign of the Time'
- a poem for Advent

Divine Time is not a line,
from Earth to Heaven,
from Hell to redemption.
from here to there,
Divine Time is a circle;
a spiral of turning.
As the seasons turn the year,
the hands of Divine Time
proscribe their journey
from start to start,
and from end to end.
Now is the start,
and now is the end.
'Eternity in each present moment.'

This poem was inspired by tonight's excellent Advent Sermon by Lindsay Meader at St James' Piccadilly.
