-Wait No More- By Alexandra Lane The waiting has been a steady bridge between past, present, and future. Stars lighting this path of expectation for that long-ago promised heel. A heel imagined attached to conqueror’s body, born on the back of a warhorse. God among us but not one of us. But instead-- this heel is small and wrinkled, the skin not yet needing to stretch to hold the Servant King’s feet, born rather in a horse’s trough. What grand reversal is this? That the One who knit the elements together-- neurons, protons, and electrons forming the backbone to life-created-- is now bound by them. Carbon-Creator becomes carbon-bound for the sake of this carbon-based world. For this world, it seems the waiting is over, and yet, not quite finished-- For now, we wait with a Hope that cracks open the stars-- bleeding gold to cover the brokenness. A Hope that calls to heaven, to earth, it’s kingdoms, and to us-- and says, God is here. He has become one of us. The wait for Him, at last, is over. The wait for redemption begins anew.

The poem might be short, but it was able to deliver its message because the words that were used were direct and heartfelt. Alexandra Lane really has the talent when it comes to poem writing and she is a powerful writer to beat. Her words are beautiful; I couldn't think of how good the poem was though its message is quite sad and blue. I am more after her capacity as a poet. I hope that she will write more poems because a lot of people will love her because of that.
